18 Aug 2009 | One last update before I go
DO NOT PANIC, your dear Jenny-fa has not unexpectedly perished. To be honest, I'm losing interest in this blog and am planning to construct a better one on another domain. In the meantime, you can see that I've neglected to post for quite a while.
Anyway, my work on the new blog has been minimal at best, so it might be a while till any of you get to behold its awe-inspiring might.
So, I've been buying stuff for college. Bedsheets, blankets, toiletries, supplies, etc… and textbooks. I just crunched the numbers — sticking to used copies, if I'd ordered my books through my college bookstore, the total cost would've been $404.50 USD. However, the total, including shipping and handling, only comes out to be $233.04 when purchasing through Amazon. Which means a savings of $171.46 or roughly 42.4 percent.
Beat that, suckers.
On a related note, I enrolled in Calculus II for the fall semester. Considering the fact that I (effectually) failed calculus last year and that my head starts thumping something awful whenever I consider a simple differential equation… this could be suicide.
So… the rest of you. Where are you heading to college and when are you leaving? And what have you been doing to prepare?
