the bookstore, why I hate it, and other random facts

Let's start off on a good note. I went to my final at 10am which I was dreading because I hadn't studied very much only to find out that I had an A in the class and didn't have to take the final! SUPER excited!

And then I went to turn in my books, and that's where my day got a little worse.

I paid $80 for my insurance book they were going to give me $25. Nope, sorry. I'm selling it on Amazon.

I paid $130 for my marketing book, they were going to give me $5!!!, Amazon.

I paid $100 for my human resource book and got $83 back in cash because I'm smart and learned something about taking books back. Always, always, always take the used sticker off, that way they will think you bought it new and give you half back for the cost of the new book instead of half back for a used book. Score on that one!

Then I paid $30 for my small business book and they wanted to give me $3. No, amazon.

One of my other books was customized for my class, and they aren't even taking it back. I'm sure he will use the same one next semester. Oh well, I don't even remember what I paid for that one, I think it was around $70.

So I just put three books on amazon and hope that I can get a little more out of them that way. Another trick on that (since I know everyone who is reading this really cares ;) ) is to go a few dollars lower than other books in the same condition as yours because people will pick them everytime because they are a few dollars cheaper. Worked for me last semester, hopefully it does for this one.

Anyway, I'm still really excited about not having my final. My roommates, and my sister and I are all going to Olive Garden tonight, so that should be fun. Then I have to work from 10pm-2am, then tomorrow is my LAST day of work :( Kind of sad, but super excited.

Then I only have my presentation on Thursday and then I am going HOME for Christmas Break! I have never been more ready. I can't believe I've almost made it through 7 semesters, and I only have one more week of finals, ever! Yay!

I hope everyone has a fantastic day! I'm going to relax until lunch then probably take a nap before girls night! :D

seriously?

I know I have better things to do than blog but I couldn't help myself on this one. I was at work last night, surfing the web as usual, when I ran across this headline: Sought: Wal-Mart shoppers who trampled NY worker



Is it really worth someone dying to get a good deal on Black Friday? I do NOT think so. It even says in the article that people were very upset that they had to leave because someone died. SERIOUSLY people, you are forgetting the true meaning of Christmas! I was so shocked by this and upset. I just don't know why people are the way they are anymore..



Anyway.. check out the article if you want.



I also wanted to share at least one of the pictures from Thanksgiving at my grandmas, we took many and some of them were way too embarassing, but here is one of the good ones :) It's good of me anyway lol.. not sure what my cousin is doing but.. yeah.

things that annoy me

Speaking of things that annoy me, after I wrote this blog the MSN Article 12 Nuisance neighbors popped up, and then it talked about this guy who had a neighbor who mowed his grass all day, drunk, and then it showed a video on YouTube on this website called rottenneighbor.com.

Here's the video, and I'm going to check out this Rotten Neighbor site right now lol.. Doesn't the guy taping it have the same laugh as the curly haired guy on Knocked Up, I love him btw lol...



AND.. my sister found this video and it's pretty funny if you have nothing better to do!



Here's what I wrote earlier:

I guess I am just in one of those moods where everything annoys me today.. and everything that I'm annoyed about seems to be college related, hmm.. maybe I'm just over it..

1. people who will not shut up during class. I was in Insurance this morning and they talked non stop for half the class, whispering. This really gets to me, because even though I can't hear what they're saying, I can hear the whispering sound and it just irritates me. Seriously, it is so rude to sit there and talk throughout the whole class. The professor had to be able to hear it but he didn't say anything.

2. my management professor who thinks he knows everything and likes to talk about random stuff while we are taking an impossible exam. There are many things about this professor that I don't like, but when your students are taking an exam (especially one that has "none of the above" for almost every question) you should be a little more respectful and let them think. But oh, he can't do that because he's SO much better than all of us. Ugh. This guy is really getting on my nerves lately.

3. people who expect you to tell them what happened for the last three classes that they have missed. HELLO! just go to class. I'm not helping you, sorry.

4. group projects. period. I know this is a part of life, but I hate being in charge of everyone because no one else will do anything. This also usually means that I am stuck having to complete everything.... ugh.

EDIT:

5. I forgot to mention the one that annoys me most. My roommate playing extremely loud irritating music over and over and over. She listens to the same songs on repeat everyday! Usually she turns it off at a decent hour, but she didn't last night. Maybe that's why I'm so grumpy and annoyed by everything else. SERIOUSLY I am so sick of hearing wierd techno, oldschool songs. It's officially time for me to listen to some Taylor Swift. Too bad I don't have good speakers...

Oh my, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go on such a rant here.. anyway.. these are things that annoy me. Feel free to leave things that annoy you, unless of course reading my blog about things that annoy me, annoys you ;)

Also, don't forget to check out my last two posts, since I've posted a few things in the last few days you might have missed them.
