My New Database of Love

Okay, so I have made my life amazing easier...I am in a class here at LDSBC that teaches you how to use Word and Excel and PowerPoint. And Access. I had never even heard of Access until this class...but I love it! I have taken my entire collection of Card books and have made the most wonderful database in the world.

I am now organized. It's great. I can tell you all sorts of information and I know exactly how many books i own. I feel the great weight lifted from my shoulder. I only wish I had Access at home. This is a great program. I love my database!

Also...I realize that two posts a month is lame...and I apologize. You see I can blame it on a whole lotta things...but that wouldn't solve the problem. I am going to try for at least one post a week...though it may get a little crazy. I seem to be only weeks away from finals and Christmas is right around the corner. Also...I might be engaged pretty soon. Probably by my next post...

I am going to have a lot to do...but four posts a month from now on...I solemnly swear.

The Wonders of a Rare Bookstore

There is something special when you find a place with first editions of Card books in an amazing condition...and you don't have to pay shipping! I can't get enough of the used book store here in downtown Salt Lake...in fact I think I am gonna go looking for more. I really think that there is nothing finer in life than a lot of happy book-crazed people.

The best part of the whole thing is finding the old magazines. Analog, Omni, Asimov's and more! I like them!! The happiness is beyond description. Forget Amazon.com and try an actual bookstore...you might regret it, but you won't forget it. Have a blast...try something new.

Oh and watch out for good deals all over...they are there waiting...
I really have to post more often, but I have been working on midterms and signing up for classes next semester...and spending a whole lotta time with my boyfriend...leave comments...and Smile!
