Ah….winter break is over. It was so awesome. I read tons of books, maybe about 10 or 11 in all, and I spent some much needed time with my family. It really takes a semester away at college to show me how much my family truly means to me. All part of the college experience, eh? Anywho, bottom line is that break is over. Which means school is back in session.
What are my goals for this semester? Well for one thing, I want to keep up my stable relationship with O. Chem. I’m in O. Chem II now and I can already tell the class is gonna be a tough one. But, hopefully, I’ll find an effective study technique and do well in this class, like I did well in O. Chem I. My, my, my. Has it really been about 6 months since the start of my relationship with O. Chem? Unbelievable…
I’m also taking the lab component of O. Chem II, Spanish II, Intro to Health Professions, and an Honors course called “The 60’s.” NO MORE MATH CLASSES!!!!! I’m so happy for that. Math was never my forte and I’m glad I don’t have to deal with it anymore.
What else to update on? Well since the semester has just started, things are still kind of slow, but I’m sure things will be picking up pace soon. I’ll update on other aspects of my life, then. Let’s see. I read some really, really good books over the break, but there was one particular book that left a very good impression on me. “Skeletons at the Feast” by Chris Bohjalian takes place during the last few years of WWII and mainly focuses on a German family’s attempt to cross the Third Reich and arrive at safer areas. The book was so awesome. If you’re a WWII junkie like I am or if you just want to read a really good novel, I recommend you check it out.
Anyway, I think that’s it for now. O. Chem is calling my name so I must go. He’s a very needy fellow, O. Chem. I hope all of you are having a great new year!

So y’all will be very proud of me.
After much internet searching (and one recon mission to the bookstore), I have purchased all my books for the semester.
You roll your eyes. Not a big deal, you say.
Au contraire, my friend. Au contraire.
That is because I, Virginia, officially spent a mere $158 on a colossal eleven textbooks (insert triumphant trumpeting). And considering that only two of her larger textbooks would have totaled a whopping $327 at the University Bookstore, this is a feat indeed.
And pray, how was such a thing accomplished?
By the amazing power of the internet, channeled through such auspicious sites as Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, and chegg.com. For those of you not familiar with Chegg, it’s an online textbook rental company. You rent the book for a fraction of the price and at the end of the semester you mail it back to them. Simple. Beautiful.
Of course, the tiny spot of inconvenience that flecks my otherwise buoyant elation is that these cheaply obtained nuggets of knowledge will take an unfortunate 4-7 days to arrive at my doorstep. An inconvenience, to be sure.
But an inconvenience most sweetly born, as I now have over $200 more in my bank account than I would have otherwise. I feel a celebratory trip to the nearest Maggie Moos is in order… followed by a prompt visit to the Bursar’s Office of course.
