I was going to post yesterday but decided to hold it all in for today.
I honestly have NO idea what I did yesterday… I remember the latter part of my day. Oh! Oh!! I remember now.
For one of my classes, I need to buy 4 books (memoirs). One of them I already bought, read, and am beginning an essay on it. The other three I don’t have to read yet but will need them for class. Well I get a butt-load of coupons from Borders (because I’m a part of their rewards program) and I never use them (because I have no money because UA decided to hardly give anyone shifts (I haven’t worked in 2 and a half weeks (But legally I’m still an employee so… FREE MOVIES!!))) so they go to waste.
So I had an absolutely briiiillliiiaant idea. Okay. It’s actually not that brilliant or ground-breaking… but I decided to buy my books with my coupons. Haha. Okay fine, I’m more excited than I should be but I’m saving a ton of money. I dug through my email and all but one of the coupons had expired. That one was due to expire last night. So yesterday I ran off to the bookstore and saved $5 with one of my books. I got another coupon (40% this time. Lasttime it was 30%) and I intend on running to the bookstore again and getting the second book. Seriously though, these savings will add up.
I’ve already done all my dorm shopping and I think I’ve saved a lottt of money so far. For everything that didn’t need to be cute or stylish (medicine, toothbrush, household items), I bought at Walmart. My friend Jasmine thinks Walmart is the devil. Random fact. Anyway, I saved a bunch there. Then my mom made me a duvet cover out of two flat sheets (Okay, the story of how I came across my comforter is one insane story and I shall tell it some other time.) I’m taking a few things from home, like storage containers and tools (I’m taking tools JUST IN CASE! I don’t want to find myself needing a screwdriver and thinking, “I -knew- I should have brought that!)
Alright this isn’t very exciting so I’ll blow through my day today.
I woke up, showered, ate breakfast then went to donate blood but they were overbooked and said “try again later” and I was like “yeahhh nope” because the blood drive was at a college nearby and most of the people there were students who were in the middle of classes so I didn’t think I’d have a chance. I might go another day though. Then I went to check my schedule at work. This is my last week I am legally an employee and the third week they didn’t give me a shift. It’s not that I’m a bad employee. Nobody is getting shifts. It’s really crazy.
I played Halo 3. Kicked ass and also got my ass kicked.
Aaaaand now I’m here.
Aaaaand now I’m gone!
