I had my philosophy final this morning. I took philosophy because I thought it would be interesting, it wasn't. We had a take home essay that was due today, the topic was God and Evil. That actually was interesting, but the rest was not.
So yesterday, I decided to go to Caribou to study. I was sitting in a nice comfy chair, getting some work done and this lady decided to sit in the chair next to me. Then, she starts talking to me:
Lady: Are you studying? Do you have a final coming up?
Me: Yes, tomorrow.
Lady: Oh, I had a final on Thursday, it was the hardest class I have ever taken. We had so much work to do, I hardly got any sleep (blah, blah, blah)
Meanwhile, I am trying to keep looking at my book, to hopefully give her the impression that I can't talk right now, I AM STUDYING!
Lady: (still going on and on). Did you have a lot of work for your class?
Me: Just a lot of reading.
Lady: Still keeps talking (blah, blah, blah)
It was getting to the point where I was going to have to tell her that I couldn't talk right now when...
Lady: Well, I think that I'll go outside now.
Me: Good idea
Then, she came back in a little while later and sat in the chair again, but got up and moved someplace else. Do you think she got the picture?
Today, after my final was over, I went to sell my books. I had 2 philosophy books and a biology book that I had never sold back. The philosophy books, I got a good amount back, but the biology book was only worth $7.50 because there is a new edition coming out. The clerk said that I could try selling it to a friend that was taking the class to get more money. But I told her that I really didn't, so I would take the $7.50. Then a guy in line behind me said that he had a friend that was taking it and he would buy it for $20 and sell it to his friend, since it's a $100 book even to buy used! I was like heck yeah! So I got $20 instead of $7.50 - that's almost triple! Woo hoo! And, since I am good girl, I am depositing the money in my checking account and transferring it to my credit card! So thanks for the extra bucks, random guy!
