Remnants

12:01 a.m.
This was the last night for the girl that works my section (world history/poli-sci) with me. We finished up all the boxes and I realized that I may have the section to myself, I may have one of the newbies. I don't know yet. No one's told me. But... I liked Brandy. *cries* She was funny and good in the section. It just won't be the same.
I found myself a little upset when I said goodbye to her, but it was a weird, disturbing feeling. It wasn't like we were close friends or hung out together or anything. I have a hard time forming very strong bonds with people and I guess it is just a byproduct of all the moving we did when I was a kid. I guess I'm just used to being the one leaving.
I also have a hard time remembering names. Another leftover from all the moving. I still don't know the name of everyone I work with and it's been like 2 months or something now.
I'm gonna have to figure something out for sure, job-wise. It's torture having books around and not making enough to afford them. I swear, TORTURE! So yeah, I just bought about $40 worth of books. Absolutely nothing that I need. Check the haul:
7 Car Bingo cards (Frogs, but I love that stuff)
A crochet kit (yeah, I needed more hobbies...)
The Time Traveler's Wife
A book on Tutankhamun's jewelry
Banewreaker (I haven't even finished Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel series and here I am getting the first book of the next one)
Silver Palaces (book about Airstreams)
Jam with Carlos Santana (This is pretty cool. It's got the sheet music to his best songs and comes with a CD that lets you play with the band. Just what I need, huh?)
A CD of "Music to Die For" (Well dang, it was to DIE FOR so I had to get it, right?)
All in all, not a bad haul. The only problem is that none of this is in my budget. Oy... Well, we'll see how this works out. Looks like I'll be giving some book and music reviews soon.
I love books.
XOXOX,
Loch
