My good friend Elise works there and I'm hanging out with her tonight.

It's her birthday today, so when I slap her in the face it's not going to be too hard, but let's just say I'll make sure she knows what she did wrong.

my school's bookstore usually doesn't have the book you need at all. new or used. this makes teachers really happy.

All I know is I feel bad for the people in my school's bookstore. You go to a school and the store you work in is called UMass Campus Bookstore but the name badge says eFollett.com. Not only do you have one of the lamest jobs on campus, you work for a huge national chain.

Crap, I always leave out somebody. For the record I want to go to MassArt (or a comparable school) to learn Industrial Design after I graduate with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Isn't capitalism excellent? When you have a captive market you can charge whatever you want and there's no one to stop you this time.
