I finally signed up for three out of four classes that I need this week. The last one doesn’t start until February 17th, so I have time for that. I also found that I can rent the textbooks that I require from the Bookshelf app for a fraction of the cost.

Although I love having a physical copy of a book to keep, that is is much more economical way. And since the books that I need are not available new, then I would have to wait for them all to arrive.

This past Monday was Blue Monday, which is supposed to be the saddest day of the year. Today is January 20th, and it feels like January 754th. It’s been freezing, gloomy, stormy and overall just blah.

We are currently in the middle of an extreme cold warning. You know it is cold when building management sends out a notice with warnings of how to avoid your pipes from freezing. That’s never good.

I haven’t left the house today, and probably won’t tomorrow because although I like the winter, this is cold too extreme for me to enjoy a walk.
