I see you, you see me, differently

So my mama came out this past weekend. I miss her a lot when I am out here at school. She's pretty much my best friend, so it's pretty awesome when we get to hang out.

We went to Book Outlet. I swear, I should never be allowed to set foot in a store that has all books 70% off. It just isn't good for my wallet, or my mother's. I ended up getting a bunch of books and my mom got a few books on scrapbooking.

I shall list my purchases: 
  1. Edith Wharton, The House of Mirth
  2. Margaret Atwood, Power Politics
  3. Edna St. Vincent Millay, Collected Sonnets
  4. John Tyerman Williams, Pooh and the Philosophies 
  5. & a couple cat books because I have no life 
I need to go out tomorrow and track down a copy of Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex. Maybe, by some miracle, reading some of it may clarify this existentialist feminism I have to present on in my Women in Society class. Even Sparknotes didn't help in explaining it. I am a little frustrated, but I'll just have to sit down tomorrow and knock the thing out. I don't really have much choice. But hopefully they have a copy at Book Outlet. (Yes Meredith, I checked at the library and the only copy they have printed in English is out already. haha) 

I really cannot wait to have free time to read all the stuff I want to read. I have a ton of books that I really want to get into and  I have no time to do it. It is partly my own fault, but oh well. 

Right now, I have the beginnings of a migraine, so I am going to take something for it and lay down. :)
