Hey all. So, I must say...I'm quite proud of myself. It's kind of a known fact that college bookstores completely rob you for books, so I decided to take matters into my own hands when buying text books this summer. I went on the bookstore website, found out what books I need, e-mailed my professors to make sure I had the right editions, and then went online to find them. To give you an example of some of my savings...
At the bookstore this book would have cost me $42.75..I found it online for $35.40.
Or this one..
In the bookstore this book costs $72.40...I found it online for $70.75. I know that's not much of a difference, but that book is brand spankin' new..just released in May, so I wasn't gonna find it much cheaper than that. PLUS..2 dollars less is still less!
That's just 2 examples, trust me there are more! It may not seem like much, but it adds up, so I am pretty proud of my thriftiness I must say!! I can't wait for school! Later, gators!
PS: Happy Birthday, Tut!

summmmmmertime and the living's easy...
Hi everyone! My summer has been very busy thus far! During the weekdays I work at the Kid's Clubhouse, during the weekend I'm out with friends and then once in awhile there's an American Eagle shift peppered in there, so there's been very little downtime to collect my thoughts and write a blog entry.
For starters, I hope everyones' 4th of July was fun! Mine was eventful. In the morning the Clubhouse staff was in the parade. I was dressed as the Little Mermaid...my wig looked like trailer trash. In fact, while I was walking I heard a little girl say "THAT's Ariel!?" I couldn't blame her; I looked like meth addict Ariel. You can judge for yourself, though this picture truly doesn't do the hideousness justice.
The others are Beth as Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, Molly as Cinderella, Shelby as Fiona from Shrek, and of course me as Methadone Mermaid. Oh well! It was fun despite my horrendous wig.
That evening I went out with Chantal and her sister, Kyra and some other friends to a party on Lower Narrows Pond in Winthrop, which is actually the same lake that my grandparents used to live on! It was fun! Here is a picture of Chantal and I at that:
So it was definitely a fun night!
Saturday evening I went to see Alyssa in "Fame Takes A Holiday" at the Northport Music Theater. She was BY FAR the best one in the show, and I'm not just saying that because I am bias...she was seriously the best one. Here is the promotional photo for that, I know it's small, but Lyss is the one all the way to the left:
Yesterday I went to Old Orchard Beach with Chantal and then we stopped in Freeport for a bit. It was really fun and I hadn't been to OOB since I was little, so that was exciting. Here's a picture from that:
So, yeah I've been really busy and it's been a really great summer so far! I can't wait to get back to Orono though! September 1st can't come soon enough! More soon! Later, gators!
