Bright spot concerning money

[meitantei_cj]

I finally got around to cancelling Ashworth, and because I only completed one course before I truly realized the dullness a business-filled curriculum would entail, I actually overpaid, so I should be getting a $180 refund within the next month. No idea how it's going to come since I've used both my cards to pay them in the past. If it goes to the credit card, that'll be good. If it goes to the debit card, I'll shift the money to the other card. (The $180 came up on my account before I lost access due to them cancelling me, so... yeah, we'll see if it comes through. It better, or they're getting another phone call. They were very good about cancelling me, though--I really expected the whole "why are you leaving? we'll give you this and this if you stay!" thing, but all I did was explain why I was cancelling and that was it. Was pleasantly surprised by that. I guess they figured they got my money.)

I'm going to have roughly $470 once bills and transfers are done on Wednesday. Shall be another two weeks of staying far away from Borders and such. As it is, I've been a trading fiend on Swaptree and have probably racked up about $40-50 in shipipng charges. ^^; Still, for all the stuff I got, totally worth it. Most of the things I traded for were games. I have two hardcover Harry Potter books left. I've been trading them away; I plan to get the paperback books eventually. The hardcovers are HUGE, and heavy.

There was another book fair at the building near my job. As soon as I can out of the subway, my eyes locked onto a copy of Twilight. I swear I almost went over to see how much it would be, and if it was cheap enough, I'd have bought multiple copies. EVERY TIME I go to see what I need to trade to get something, Twilight's on the list. (Kinda like Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit, Super Paper Mario, Twilight Princess, Left 4 Dead, de Blob, Kororinpa or something like that, a Marble Madness-type game...) I could've bought copies for cheap and traded them away for damn near whatever I wanted... probably including another copy of de Blob. I accidentally left the case with all the Wii games in the basement at the house. I'm back to listening to de Blob's soundtrack and not playing it. I'm not happy about that. And it's only gonna be Tuesday tomorrow. -_- I need to keep one copy in each place.
