A Site I am Obessesed With Is.... R.E.A.D.S.

Tennessee R.E.A.D.S. (Regional eBook & Audiobook Download System)!


 R.E.A.D.S. has become my go to for ebooks. I can get a range of books all at my finger tips for free without spending hudreds on books I will never read again. I have maybe 800-900 dollars worth of paperback and hardcovered books that I have only read once.


R.E.A.D.S. is a site that Tennessee residence can go to and borrow books for 14 days and return them just like a regular book at the library but you are not wasting gas on driving. You can borrow up to 15 books at a time which I have only ever borrowed 15 at once about 2 times. I believe that I have saved myself a few hundred dollars because of this website.


Thank you R.E.A.D.S.!

I am finished with Spring 2011 Semester, I have H.S., and I am Finding Work

I am offically finished with this semester. This is the first time since last January that I have not had classes to take or to study for. I am really freaking out because I have to now find a job. I have not had a real job since 2007. The reason for that is... Well, I was working at Old Navy in Tanger Outlet in the fall of 2007 and wasn't feeling to good when I worked for a long time period sweating to death. I barely took breaks (I wasn't even 17 yet) which you are supposed to take breaks at least 2 times during a 7-8 hour period and so I was becoming dehydrated and didn't stop for a drink or to go to the bathroom. I found out a month or so after quiting that I have a disorder or genetic disease called Hidradenitis Suppurativa (H.S.):

So, I got medicine and am going to try to find some work anywhere I can that isn't going to make me sweat like a freak in heat.


This semester was my fourth and I am doing pretty good. I have had some easy classes so far but that is going to change in the Fall of this year. I believe that classes for Fall start in September which gives me plenty of time to find something and stick with it. We will see... Till later my followers.
