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!

Love!

I am in love with these shorts. I wish I could find them locally, so I could try them on.
That's the downfall of online shopping. Once you find something you like, hope the sizes are true, wait for it to be shipped and if it doesn't, you have to ship it back and wait more.

Week 5

This marks week 5 of my life as a culinary student. I made an 85 (B) on my math test that I was so worried about last week.
Tomorrow, I have a huge psychology test that I have been anticipating since day 1. My prof. kind of put it off because of a few thing's and I think that only made it worse.
I also have an A in my reading class. Yesterday, my prof. told me that she loves me. Previously she told me that I was an excellent student and that it is hard to keep an A in her class, which I have managed to do. I also have a vocab test in her class tomorrow. :)

Today is math class, and we're learning even more new thing's. I think I'm hanging in there just fine though. :)

Looking forward to Spring Break. We're going to Walt Disney World! Some friend's of our's have decided that they'll be going down at the same time as us. I'm looking forward to that. It's their first time at "the World" and we have lot's to show them! :)

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