New Book, Plug and Chatter

This is not a paid advertisement:     I have been a member of Paperback swap for a few years now. It has allowed me to get book's that I have wanted for A LOT less than retail price. It's fairly simple, in how it operates. You list your unwanted books with them, and if someone wants it, they contact you. Once you mail, and they receive the book, you earn a credit. Then, in turn, you use that credit to "buy" a book from someone else. In a word, it's recycling, of books. There is also a wish list option in which you add book's you desire and when someone posts a book it alerts them that someone is wishing for their book and they contact you automatically. Its awesomeness!
     Yesterday, I received a book that I have been wanting, The Complete Idiot's Guide to - Success As A Chef. Now, I know that it might seem absurd when I am a culinary student, however, I wanted to read it because I feel that it has some valid points. So far, I am enjoying the book :)
     School is going well, and all that it entails. I am still a bit scornful over that lousy D that I made, however, I am doing very well in both of my other classes and maintaining a B average. Does it make up for that lousy D? No, not even close.
Spring Break has sprung and today, after my math class, I will be free from classes until March 19th. I can handle 11 day's of no class, absolutely!

'Til next time...do good thing's!
