Who knew it could be so much fun to sell all my worldly possessions, especially while putting off schoolwork? OK, mostly it's just books from education PhD. I got through one of the two boxes in my closet because I am officially declaring NO GOING BACK. Not that I ever planned to, but now I'm making it official.
So I have about 35 books listed on Amazon, already sold three - damn life is grand. See, there's a post office thing on campus on my way to class, so it's no big deal to take care of all that. I do probably need to start doing tracking numbers on the books - don't want to get a bad reputation, for darn sure.
I do love the whole two birds, one stone thing here - less stuff to move later, and more money for me, and other people can enjoy the books that I did. Now I need to sell more of those, then list the other box (I have a whole inventory here), then read my way through all the books on my shelves and sell those - and all before I get near finals push, because I won't want to deal with the hassle then.
PLUS I love the internet for its stalking capabilities - and its utility in helping me procrastinate.
I was reading up on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and saw an article (by Voice of America, not the most reputable source) that mentioned a Liberian in America who disagrees with it because he thinks there should be a war crimes tribunal to hold the people accountable. Exactly! So I do a little google on Bodioh Siapoe and found a contact and he's already responded to me asking me to call him. How great is this world?
I just have to figure out what exactly I want to say to him now and why it is that I emailed him, besides the fact that I can.
I ran to Haydl's Bakery a couple hours ago because a little voice told me to - and I snatched up the last Saints king cake. It's out in my truck because it smells so darn good that I knew I couldn't wait. And now I'm off to Ayanna's to watch the game. I haven't been able to concentrate on schoolwork all day because of my nervousness about it. I don't think I need a new hobby that stresses me out anymore! But, I really do hope the Saints win.
