Feeling much better today! Barely any pain in the morning but I went to see World War Z and now I'm back to feeling pain again. Darn.

TXTBOOKS, TEXTBOOKS!

Since my class schedule for next year sucks, I guess I'd try to make it less suck...y by looking up textbooks early. Turned out, I didn't have too hard a time with it.

Some of the sites that I have looked at are: campusbookrentals.com, half.com, smartcourse.com. Among these three, I think I love campusbookrentals the most since it has a pretty good customer service and a 30 day full refund period just in case I drop the class. Half.com seems to be the one that's the most expensive among the three, but then, some of the textbooks listed by half.com are actually new and they're 30% less than the actually price so really... I can't complain about that. Smartcourse.... well, if I have to buy NEW textbook, I'd go for smartcourse. I saw a brand new textbook for Spy (either that, or music, I can't remember) at smartcourse that's only 7 dollars more than the used one at campusbook! That's great! Plus, I think it has free shipping. Sorry, for the uncertainties but apparently, I had just spent only 20 mins for all the sites.

Oh, half way through my research/quest, or whatever you call it, for cheap txtbooks, I came across this website: bigwords.com. It's BIG, alright. This site lets you compare the prices from various websites which includes the three sites above and a few more, but I can only remember chegg.com now. So it's very effective. Plus, it lets you have the option of viewing, new/used textbooks. It's a great site. If you're a rising college student and you are totally clueless about textbooks (like me), those are great places to start.

Lastly, not sure if this still works but here's a coupon for campusbook for 7 bucks off: resolution2010
