Happy birthday, snonsumr!

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon/evening at eve11's new place, hanging out with her and D, snonsumr and uisceboo. She had a very yummy pork roast waiting for us in the crock pot, we made cookies (they were a gift from one of the parents at work - dry ingredients all mixed together in a jar with directions for how to make them) which came out sorta-kinda edible, but I don't recommend the recipe for future use. We watched hockey (Sabres won, as did the Maple Leafs) and talked all evening. Fun, fun, fun!

It was a late night and a long drive, so eve11 brought me home this morning, where I found, much to my dismay, that the cats were not thrilled with my overnight absence. Not thrilled at all. No permanent damage to furniture, but poop and puke scattered liberally about the apartment. So my plan of feeding them and immediately crawling back into bed (it was before 7 am) was derailed a bit.

Still, I managed a couple extra hours of sleep before heading into Oakland to buy books for this semester. I think I got off lucky this time around. Not quite as many required books and some of them look like interesting reading. I still ended up paying way more than I think is really necessary, esp for the one book that costs $132 and is a fairly small (hardbound) book that is no way worth such an absurd price. Still. I have all the books and I intend to actually do the readings this semester.

So, back to work tomorrow, back to school on Thursday. I've enjoyed my break but I'm ready to get back into the thick of things. *nods decisively*

College textbooks *are* way too expensive, but glad to hear that some of the overpriced ones look iinteresting. Good luck with a new year and a new semester!

One of the downsides of school, I suppose. The publishers know they have a captive audience so they can charge almost as much as they'd like, with little restriction, as far as I can tell.
