Today was judgment day in calculus. I took my final at 9:50 and it took me about an hour. I actually knew what I was doing for most of it. The last couple of problems were pretty hard and I guessed on them. But after the test I was talking to one of my friends about it and I asked him what this one formula was that I couldn’t remember. He told me and I realized that I actually guessed correctly. So, I think I passed and I may have done decently. My professor said she’d have grades up tomorrow. The only thing left to do is wait.
Now I’m officially done with the semester and done with community college. Graduation is on Thursday. I tried to sell back a whole stack of books at the book store after my test. They bought half of them and I got $44.50. After that I decided to go to another book store to see if they’d buy the rest. I had heard rumors that that book store buys any books. Apparently the rumor is not true. They bought one book out of the six I had left. It was my walking class book and they gave me $2 for it. Ugh, if I had known that I wouldn’t have bothered going, since I’m sure I spent more than $2 in gas to get there. Now I am left with 5 books that no one will buy. One is my chemistry book that I have tried to sell four times now. No one wants it. Maybe I’ll try Craigslist, although why anyone would want to buy my text books is beyond me.
But enough about text books. Now I get to sit around all summer and hope to make more money than I spend. Ah, summer. I hate the insane heat, but love the vacation. However, it doesn’t feel like summer yet. There was a chance of snow last night and I am sitting here in a sweat shirt. Gotta love the weather. A few weeks ago it was almost 90 degrees, and last night it was 33. I just hope I did decently in all my classes. I’m sure calculus brought down my GPA, but hopefully the other classes helped off-set that. None of my grades are up yet, so I’ll be checking quite often the next few days. I’m guessing I won’t even know all my grades by the time graduation comes. That’ll be pretty funny, graduating without even knowing my final grades.

Don’t try selling me your chem book.
Google used books, you can list them on there.. some websites actually buy them for decent money.
I think I still have all those textbooks in some boxes…
Congratulations!!!
Come on, Tori, you know you want it.
I found a couple used book sites. One actually offered $11 for one of my history books, so that’s pretty decent. My chem book on the other hand, I got offered $1.15 on one site and 50 cents on another. Geez, I paid $200 for that thing. None of the sites want my other books.
Thanks, yoon! My parents still have a lot of their text books. We have 2 bookcases filled with medical and psychology books.
I keep my textbooks cause I think it’s kind of useless to sell them since I paid so much for them and only get so little in return. I did sell a few of mine before, but only to fellow students. They gave me more than the bookstore offered.
