Gearing Up for Weekend Activities


I'm getting ready for a USU student activity this weekend. My husband and I are going to attend a community "frontier days" for a few hours during which students can come find us and win some Aggie Ice Cream. I hope we have a good number of people come so we can get students excited for the monthly activities I'll be planning. I'm having a hard time getting people to volunteer for committee positions. By the way, USU-Price has a website that makes it reallly easy to get information about programs and the campus. It's www.price.usu.edu. CHECK IT OUT!
My abnormal psychology textbook has been deemed a lost cause by the postal service. I've had to order a new book and waste another few weeks waiting and getting behind in class. I'm never ordering from ebay again.
My daughter has started crawling and sitting up lately. She's getting pretty good at it, but still has the occasional bumped head.

My Ebay letdown

Week 2 in my online classes at USU-Price, and I already have a piece of advice for anyone starting out their college career... DON'T ORDER YOUR TEXTBOOKS USED FROM EBAY! The prices there are comparable to anywhere else, but their delivery timing stinks. I ordered my abnormal psychology textbook from them, and now, two weeks into the semester and three and a half weeks from the day I ordered it, I still have yet to see it on my doorstep. I ordered it with the belief that it would be here in time for the semester to start, but later received an email informing me that this was not the case, and to expect it between the 27th of August and the 9th of September. Way past the dates that I thought I had been given when I ordered it. Luckily, I was able to borrow the book of a fellow Aggie in my community, or I would be academically dead in my abnormal psychology class.

Lots of studying going on. I have just enough time in the day to be able to do my schoolwork and take care of myself and my family. I am quite blessed in that respect. Many days are faced with headaches, though. I'm sure that will change as I get used to the academic load. What a week!
