What does $1000 worth of textbooks look like?

Like this!

Holy freaking crap!!  That’s not even that many books and I’m only taking 4 classes.  This is ridiculous.  I am taking four of them back though because I ended up finding them on amazon.com for much cheaper.  I’ll be saving about $200 this way.  So $800 for books this semester.  It still seems redic!  I haven’t ever had to pay this much for books before, it blows my mind.  I’m now glad that I went ahead and got financial aid instead of paying for everything out of pocket.  There’s no way I could afford this otherwise.

Sooooenyways…

I woke up early this morning, but I didn’t really feel like getting up so I read for a while.  I was reading the third book in the Sookie Stackhouse series.  And I couldn’t put it down.  I ended up finishing the whole thing this morning (and I bought it at 5:00 last night!)  I DEVOUR books, it’s like a disease or something, lol!

Then I got up and had a quick little breakfast.  I didn’t really have an appetite, but I was shaking and my tummy was hurting so I knew I needed something to eat.  Does anyone else get weird symptoms when they get too hungry?  I shake like mad and feel like I’m going to barf, which really doesn’t make me want to eat anything.  I try not to ever get too hungry because I know that will happen, but sometimes it just happens.

I tried out this new PB that I picked up at the grocery store this weekend.

I put it on half of an Orowheat thin and topped it with some banay-nay.  That was about all I could handle at the time.  This PB is goooood! 

Then I was off to D-town to get my textbooks.  I wasn’t really keeping up with the prices so I had a mini heart attack at the cash register and went into shock.  (like I said I’m taking some back, so my heart is feeling a bit better, lol).

Then there was the trek across campus with around 50 lbs of books (parking was a nightmare with all of the students moving into their dorms today).  At that point my arms were shaking and I was feeling really sick.  It was 105* today, I think I got a bit overheated.  My body isn’t handling the heat well this summer for some reason.  I usually don’t have a problem with it, but for some reason I just can’t take it this summer.  It’s not any hotter than a typical Texas summer.  Weird.

Anyway, I decided to stop by this little health food store my awesome sis-in-law told me about (thanks Katherine, you rock!).

Cupboard…

And I got a few things.  Some veggies and whatnot.  This is a neat little place and it’s not too expensive. 

They also have a cafe so I had an awesome sandwich!  Chicken and basil sammy- boarshead chicken breast, pesto, feta cheese, and roasted peppers.

Holy crap.  That’s all I have to say.  This might be the best sammy I’ve ever had.  This place is going to get so much money from me over the next few yrs, haha.

Wild blueberry iced tea.  I didn’t even know it existed.  Apparently it does and it’s delish!

And some chocolate.  (I know how good for you dark chocolate is, but I just don’t like it.  I’m a milk chocolate girl through and through)  This was not the best chocolate I’ve ever had, but I just couldn’t resist seeing that they give 10% of the proceeds to protecting endangered species.  It was still pretty good though!

Well, I think I’m spent for the day.  My hands are still shaking and I don’t feel so great, so I think I’m retiring for the evening.  I think I’m going to send hubby out to pick up some food for dinner.

Adios!
