non-smoker

1. Six full days without a cigarette. Yes.

2. I had to pay my library fines today, or at least get my balance under $10, to check out books related to my new thesis topic.

3. What kind of respectable university doesn't let students (grad students, even) check out books because of fines? Okay, yes, put a hold on my account so I can't graduate or whatever, but I need to check out books to be in school, and I am too poor to afford library fines BECAUSE I'M IN SCHOOL.

4. UGH.

5. The amount that I paid is actually just about what I'll save once I've gone a month without smoking. So much for buying myself something nice to celebrate.
