Money Matters Once Again!

I have a terrible story, so I couldn't return this $100.00 research methods to the book store, just because I didn't have proof that I was dropping the class. Because I wasn't, I just got a better deal on-line. So the only thing that I could come to was to put the book on-line and put it at the book store price. I was just expecting it to sit there awhile, but over night the book sold. So I sent it to this girl fairly quickly and I was quite happy about it because I got my money back. But sadly enough enough two days later I went into my e-mail to find that someone else had bought the exact same book and I need to mail it to this other girl by next thursday. Yeah, I swear I checked my account to make sure there was only one copy on there being sold...but somehow it still was on the ebay main page twice. Yeah, it's like I only the one book so how do I come up with another copy without losing money? So basically what I came to was that I basically bought the last used book in the book store and so to get one there I'd have to buy a new one for $150.00 while this person was buying my invisible one for $100.00, so I'd lose $50 that I don't have. So then I went onto half.com/ebay and couldn't find any good deals, sure there were some for like $80.00 but in horrid condition, and not what this person is expecting to get.

So by then I just didn't know what to do, I'd about decided that I would have to go get one at the book store and lose the $50.00. But then I decided to go to Amazon and see the prices on this book, well they were all about $110 or $150. So I went back to half.com/ebay one last time and then I saw at the very bottom this same book being sold for $72.00, so I went in. And they were brand new, which is what this person is expecting. Which is good because by buying that book I could save $28.00, which isn't alot but better then losing money. And so I ended up having about $85.00 in my total accounts. So I bought the book and now only have $12.00 in both of my accounts combined, which is really scary to get that low. But as far as I know there are no bills that will go through this weekend and if I make sure that I don't use a debit card or anything I should be fine until the money from the other book sales start coming in next week. So just hopefully it isn't slow coming through and it all comes in by the starting of the week. But isn't that terrible? That somehow it got two listings on there and now I have to almost invent a new book to get to that girl. But I'm just lucky that I went back in one last time to half.com/ebay and saw that $72.00 book at the very bottom and went into it and saw that it was brand new. So just hopefully this book comes fast and I can get it in the mail to this other person by thursday like I'm supposed. I swear my life is insane, but somehow things always seem to work out. Sometimes I wonder how it all works out when it's crazy things like an accidental listing for a book on half.com/ebay. But thank goodness it all has worked out is all I can say.

Good luck to you all have have a great holiday weekend with no school on monday!!!!

My brothers January surprise to me...haha!

So as was mentioned previously I was really sick and I basically placed it as a bad head cold. Well, by sunday I was coughing, had clogged ears and couldn't hear very good but other then that I was pretty much fine, it was just the cough that was being annoying. But anyways on sathurday night I was freaking out because I wanted to be better by monday, and suddenly it occured to me that I should get blessing. So I called my brother in law Richard, and he came over and did it. But while he and my sister were there at my apartment right off they asked if I had been to the doctor and I was kind of surprised because I thought that it was a bad head cold so I hadn't even thought of going to the doctor. Well, then that night I was talking to my mom she was asking what all the symptoms were? And as soon as I told her everything she was like "that sounds exacally like what Nelson (my brother) had for two weeks straight". (which was during christmas break) And I was like "Oh No, I have BRONCITIS". The next day I went to the doctor and I found out that I very much did have broncitis...thank goodness I realized what I had and stopped placing it as a head cold or I'd still be ill right now.
And luckily this wasn't 100 years ago or my whole family would be dead right now, except for my mom, dad, and my sister Amanda. Because we've all had broncitis now, well maybe Janae hasn't...but she thinks that she has because she was deaf in one ear for several months the spring that she got married. And basically with broncitis you get really sick with the coughs and then you basically are sick so long that it affects your ears and if not treated soon enough you probably could go permanantly deaf. (but maybe not because Janae finally was able to hear about from that ear by the spring)
But thank goodness for modern technology and the preizthood...or poor Amanda would be alone without any other siblings. Sadness...but just so you all know pneumonia follows broncitis and that is where it becomes a killer. So luckily there is medicine to stop it when it gets to broncitis...!! Also, there is something else that I totally just realized, but I'll leave that to another post because I need to run and do homework now. (considering I more better now)

You better watch out or else...!

So for the last week I've been back here in Logan in it's north pole conditions, with ice and snow everywhere. Anyways, due to being in logan winters for the last three winters I've become quite accustomed to ice skating in the parking lots and side walks while walk outside. Well, due to that I'm always quite careful and I don't think I ever even once fell last winter and I hadn't this winter either. Well, that is until today I was walking to my apartment from classes and I thought something along the lines of how I hadn't fallen at all yet and that it probably wouldn't be happening anytime soon either since I'm so used to it. Well, I was just two feet from my apartment door and suddenly there I was sitting by my neighbers door...luckily no walked out just about then.
The lesson learned is that it's unwise to become vain because you've become really good at something, because when your not carefull you'll slide and die.
Also the update on the first week of school...and that is that due to my lovely little 7:30 a.m. class this morning my illness has gotten worse. It actually was going away yesterday and suddenly there it was again today, but basically it doubled by degrees. Today I made the unwise decision of walking back to my apartment for the hour and half break between two classes. So I was going back over to campus to attend my psychology stats class to run into someone I knew. And this girl kept talking a ton and we were going up the hill and as soon as we were at the top I had this horrendous headache, but luckily we split ways about then. And by that point I was about to drop over dead...literally! So I hurried to my class and by the end of it the headache was gone. But by then I decided that it would be unwise to go to work, so I called in sick. And within two hours the headache was back and I was really glad that I called in sick. So hopefully this illness, whatever it is will be gone by monday.
So hopefully none of you are sliding on ice or getting sick, but have a great weekend!!

Something is wrong here!

So something very strange happened to me during christmas break, which is called that I was with sick siblings for three weeks and never caught it. And of course I was quite happy about it, until yesterday...which was the day before school started. Suddenly I started getting a sore throat, headaches, freezing to death no matter where I was at, and not just being cold but the bone aching cold. But being responsible like I am I still went to the first day of classes, and to bad they wouldn't cancel school tomorrow and count it as a snow day...wouldn't that be nice? But of course they wouldn't cancel school on the second day of school even though it's a complete blizzard and below zero.
Actually, it was quite funny because my psychology stats teacher actually put on the syllbus that if there is a snow day we don't have to turn in the homework. I thought it was funny that she put something about snow days on the syllbus, I guess that they're becoming more common these days.

Christmas Break!!

It is christmas break at the moment and at first I was kind of bored since on monday everyone was at school and work. But then Nelson my younger brother who is 16 got really sick and has been at home for the last three days. And today he was entertaining me when I was making christmas presents, actually he was telling me Roosvelt gossip/stories.
Anyways, it was also really sad because our neighbors house burned down the other day and so people kept calling us because it was night and looked like our house.
But christmas break has been good so far...have fun you all!!

The End!

So how many of you thought that I was ending my blog posts forever when you saw the title The End?

The end!

Well, it's finals week right now and I must say that I'm not to sad that the semester is basically over. I always seem to have this problem every semester, either it's extremely easy and kind of boring. Or really hard and really annoying, but this semester was the easy one so kind of boring. But family finance was one class that was easy but also one that everyone should take. Because if everyone took that class no one would have to file for bankruptcy or wouldn't be running credit in the zillions. (not that zillion is a real thing but you get the point)
Anyways, this is a sad end of fall semester, because normally I've never had roommates who move at the end of fall. Since normally it's easier to stay and wait to move until the spring. But this semester half of my apartment is leaving and it's actually kind of sad, I think that sadest one was when we found out Becca was leaving. Basically it was the day we were leaving for Thanksgiving she announced that she was moving and selling her contract. The sad thing is that she's a freshmen and I just don't think that she liked Logan, or the school or something and so she moved home. It's sad, but I guess that we're getting new people next semester...! But I guess that is how college is, everything is always changing.
Anyways, good luck to you all with finals and christmas break and such!!
