I just purchased most of my books for the fall a few minutes ago. All used at a grand total of $104. I'm quite proud of myself. Of course, I still have two more books to purchase, both for Calculus. I'm holding off because they're the most expensive and for some reason they look exactly the same, except one is paperback and the other is hardback. ( Read more... )

And so the final book is finished. The Deathly Hallows came upon me so quickly that it was hard to comprehend it was really the end. Nearly eight years of my life with Harry Potter coming to a close.

I'm at home right now but I have to go back....
home?...later. I'm in that stage where being home isn't home anymore. I've only been staying in my dorm room for a few months but it's already home in my mind. Sad, cause I really hate it.
