message 10301: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (simplysarah13) | 315 comments @Vicki oh man! that had to have been rough! Sometimes you just gotta do what you got to do, regardless. I know my fridge in my dorm had leaked my first year of college, but luckily I managed to be able to buy a new one. I live about 20 minutes from home. I don't commute though in winter because KY roads are so hilly and awful. In the fall and in better weather, I mostly commute then. I go back and forth between the house and the dorm, especially if things are stressful at school or with roommates. Plus if I have night classes, I'll stay at the dorm sometimes depending on how late it is. I don't want to risk my life going to class, especially with driving so I stay put during winter weather. Safety first! We have washers and dryers in the basement of my dorm building. It's 16 floors and sometimes trying to do laundry is an all night job! It is thankfully free-it used to not be...

Sarah (simplysarah13) | 315 comments @Vicki, also we have a grocery store on campus. It's not a long walk. Just across the street. Plus I'm close to a Family Dollar, a Speedway and if all else fails I can walk downtown in no time and be at the grocery. When we got a lot of snow and was out of school for the week, I went to some of the grocery stores and went to the dollar store as well as the campus grocery and stocked up on food--I was good to go.

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Maddison, when were you thinking of reading those books? I currently have The Winner's Curse (The Winner's Trilogy, #1) by Marie Rutkoski and I would like to read Arena 13 (Arena 13 Trilogy, #1) by Joseph Delaney The Rithmatist (The Rithmatist #1) by Brandon Sanderson Steelheart (Reckoners, #1) by Brandon Sanderson but I don't know if we can work out the dates because I would need to request them all and I leave for a vacation next Wednesday the 15th and won't be back until the 24th.

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Anyone want to join me for Paperweight by Meg Haston The Law of Moses by Amy Harmon ? I am thinking not until August.


message 10308: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (simplysarah13) | 315 comments @Vicki Yes, 16 floors. Girls on certain floors, boys on certain floors too. We have RAs. We have a ping pong room, a study room, snack machines in our lobby and we have a basement to do laundry.


message 10309: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (simplysarah13) | 315 comments @Lydia The 23rd it is then! I'll create the thread in the morning! I'm away from the computer right now.. Lol


message 10310: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Sarah, that's awesome! I could easily be a professional student because I love learning so much!


message 10311: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (simplysarah13) | 315 comments I know. I'm hoping to go to law school after I graduate. Maybe take a year off before I go. Education is important! My parents have always pushed and emphasized education. But for the most part, I'm pretty self-driven. Not so much lately when it comes to studying for my LSAT, lol. But it is summer and I need a break!

I'd love to have a buddy to read any of these books with. :)

I'm pretty flexible on time right now, but I was thinking we could start the end of this month or the beginning of August.

I'm not in a rush, and I know you have a couple buddy reads for next month so you can pick some dates.

The end of August or the beginning of September sound good to me.

@Hannah, great! It seems like I am suddenly booked for August. lol
Would you like to try to read one of those books this month or in early September?

This thread is the best so glad to meet all of you! :)

♥♡¢σσкιє♥♡ (Krystle)  (kookiekrysp88) | 164 comments Hannah wrote: "We could do both in September if you want."

That would be perfect. :)

How about we do one on September 2nd and another on the 9th?
I'm real flexible with those dates if you need to change, and you can decide which one we read first. I'm just happy to have a buddy reader. lol

I got them from the library, and have them for a limited amount of time.
