SECOND SEMESTER = BURN YOUR OLD BOOKS

Well, as the title suggests, it's second semester senior year! Hm.... the right side of the equation is a fairly accurate description of my heart's desires right now. However, my unlucky tendency to nearly burn down my house isn't much motivation for me to actually burn these books. Plus, it would take quite a while to burn down my entire shelf's worth of books and probably a visit from the fire department of Plainsboro; AND excessively pollute the air of WW-P with the massive smoke from my all too abundant pile of JUNK.


BUT.... on the other hand, what sort of motivation can stop me from burning my life-wrecking shelf of books comprised of summer reading, SAT, ACT, AP, SAT IIs, and summer course books? Well, maybe the fact that my pretty shelf is about to fall apart from all the weight...O_O 


Another simple reason is simply: MONEY. Okay, so I must admit, I am obsessed with money; actually, I take that back. I am obsessed with gaining returns from investment, which I have clearly not gotten any since my brain is as confused as it was four years ago before high school and possibly even more challenged now, after 4 years of mind-boggling education from equally mind-boggling teachers. Thus, since I have obviously not gained any intellectual advancement, I figured I could at least gain back some of my monetary investments. What a waste it would be to burn all these business-evilness influenced overpriced books. 


EXCEL IS HARD TO USE...


That was random... except NOT. As I sit here creating an excel document, or rather trying to create a excel spreadsheet of all the schools books I have available for sale, I realized that it is just as ridiculous as any other crazy computer function that I battle with, such as BLOGSPOT... (I really need to figure out how to post pictures, videos, random cool stuff). 


Anyways.... once I figure out how to work this crazy shizzles, I shall post the spreadsheet (if that's even possible) of books I'm selling up here. 


Until then, let's just hope I can control myself enough to not have the Plainsboro Police pay me a visit for burning down my house o_O. 


Hm.... I wonder if insurance covers that?


Happy senior second semester,

I guess I did figure out how to put up photos... Still mind-boggling though O_O

I can't believe I actually bought all of these...

You know how England has the Tower of London? Well, This magnificent photo would definitely be title
"Tower of High School Agony".

And mind you, this is only the portion from the shelf that I haven't completely destroyed in annoyance. The think the latter category completes the rest 75% of my school-related books... 

SHOPPING TURNS WILD?!?!?

OK. So, shopping did go well, that was good! Freehold has lots of good stuff :D Even when it's the same stores that can be found in Quakerbridge, the stuff is really different.


Victory Claims:
*Leather boots from Guess :D (I'm wondering how to post pictures, blogspot really boggles my mind.)
*Long sleeve shirts (finally, no more "wear a t-shirt when it's 20 degrees outside")
*FUZZY SOCKS (wheeee, socks are always exciting!)
*Probably a COLD from all the germs circulating in the mall. (not sure if that's a victory o_O. Surprisingly, people do like to shop in snow storms. I don't think the recession is the problem, it's because we're not getting enough snow, it must be that!)


Now car ride, not so much fun, especially when you're driving in a huge snow blizzard. Driving on the 55mph highway at 20mph while being at least 200 feet from the car in front and behind of you was exciting...not. Let's see, the supposedly 30 min drive took just a bit under a hour. I have a hard time understanding why when my aunt and I were scrambling to get back home because the snow was crazy, there were still people driving INTO the mall area. Hmmmm, people must REALLY like shopping in the midst of snow blizzards. Perhaps we can boost the economy with some man made snow?!?!


Late holiday shopping perhaps o_O?


Hot pot for dinner. Our family tradition: take out the hot pot once a year. Boil first day, eat, keep ingredients and leftover foods. Next day, pour more water, continue to eat hot pot. Third day, maybe get some new foods, pout more water in the pot, continue eating. I think you get idea. We stop until everyone is absolutely sick of the hot pot and put it away and never see it again until next year :D Talk about cycle of life O.O


Happy Holidays,
Grace


P.S. Forgot to mention, ASIAN FAMILY MAHJONG (WITH ME MOMMY AND AUNT/RELATIVES WAS EXCITING YESTERDAY! SEEMS THAT I HAVE REALLY GOOD LUCK :D
