Textbook "Trauma"

I previously discovered that I did not, in fact, need to bring my laptop to school, nor did I need to carry around my English text, and there is no book for my Public Speaking class. However, I still needed my math textbook, my Japanese textbook AND workbook, and my history textbook.

I was thinking about this thing I saw where someone cut the pages out of a textbook, rebound them into several smaller books, and then only carried the part they needed. It looked wonderful except it kills the resale value (unless you can sell it directly to another student to whom that is valuable).

Yesterday I found out that the pages of my history textbook are perforated.

The new edition just came out (I was actually apparently supposed to get that for this class but I got it early and we're making it work) so the resale value on it has already probably plummeted. So from now I will be tearing out the pages I need and keeping them in my history folder which conveniently has a place for hole punched papers (and the perforated history pages have a margin large enough for punching holes). So that's a literal weight off my shoulders, haha.

I wish I could do that to my other books but those have resale value because I believe they are standard (every college algebra class uses this book. By the way Bethany Emma or peggy, you can totally use it if you take college algebra.)

I may have already said it but my Japanese textbook is gonna last me three semesters. Whoo! Less textbook=more money in the bank!

You know, to pay the rent or something. Sheesh, a textbook could easily be a month's groceries!

And I still didn't see the student guide for history. I may just have to take the first test without learning objectives... eh, I might do just fine. Maybe I will do that Tuesday or wednesday.

Yet another school post, sorry guys, really. I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT SOON ;~;
