The Glorious Son has Returned

My little brother Joe got back from his European adventures today. He had stories galore, and brought back tons of prezzies for all of us. He loved the Eiffel tower in Paris, and shark fishing in Portugal. He showed us pictures of the flat that he stayed in, and the crazy different streets of London. I'm sure that we'll see tons of pictures when he fully unpacks.

Our weekend company went back home, and now Jason and I return to our normal routine (yeah ... right). It's so much more quiet with just the two of us.

Luckily I don't work Monday or Tuesday, so tomorrow I'm planning on checking out the U of C's bookstore, to see what their legal textbook section looks like. That should be fun. I'm specifically going to see if I can find the following book:


Synthesis: Legal Reading, Reasoning and Writing in Canada by: Margaret McCallum, Deborah A. Schedemann & Christina L. Kunz

It seems to be reccommended reading, and the book that is used in the Legal Reading/Writing class that we take as first years. At the publisher's website, the book sells for $89, on the U of S bookstore website, the book retails for $89 as well ... I did e-mail the publisher to see if, as a student, I could get a discount or promo code, but they have failed to respond (how disappointing). I'd like to see if U of C carries the book, and if they do, if it is any cheaper. Even if it is still $89.00, I wouldn't have to pay shipping.

Also - I'm about to watch Big Brother (woo hoo), and it seems that Billable Hours is on at 10:25 my time ... I'll see if I can make it without falling asleep first. Should be able to - I just borrowed the following book from my sister Julie - the twelfth in a rockin' series that makes me laugh out loud:


Twelve Sharp by: Janet Evanovich
