Beginner's Luck

My law school experience is off to a positive and exciting start.

Just as I was lamenting the thought of forking over 75 bucks for a USED Criminal Law text book- I find the precious thing listed on e-bay- latest edition and all.

For just 99 cents.

Of course I assume that with two days left of bidding, the price will skyrocket out of control at the very last moment.

Two days pass. The bidding process ends. I am notified. I am the lucky winner of a 99 cent legal text book (boo-yah!).

Although my Criminal Law course will inevitably draw numberous frustrated breaths of hatred, uncountable late nights of reading, and moments where I want to slam my body into a fast-moving Wal*Mart delivery truck- I will experience overwhelming satisfaction every time I flip through the pages of my text book just knowing....

that is cost me LESS than any item on the McDonald's Dollar Menu.
