GEtting my monies worth....

I am an American.

If I order popcorn at the movie theater and i am on a diet...for 50 cents more I can go from Large to Extra-Large (and get a free refill) I might just get the Extra-Large because it is a value. No worry that my chubs are getting bigger, I want to get what i paid for. Hence the "Super-size" mentality.

I signed up for mediation class ( a 2 credit, one-week class) and then I decided I didn't like it. I didn't think it was worth it. It costs 565 a credit. By day 2 (before classes started for that day) i decided I wanted to withdraw and get my money back. But when i went to the registrars they said i could withdraw but only get half my money back. Blar. I decided the class wasn't worth 1100 but was worth more than 565, so decided to stick it out. I wan't to get my monies worth.

I am now looking for a new home. I must be out of my home by June 1st. I know I don't want to live with other people. Law school has made me even harder to get along with and dare I say less pleasant than my always pleasant self. Also, I don't want to have to talk to people when i am in my mega stressed out state. Plus living with that whiny dog, is all I can take...sort of soured me to having roomates (human or not). As the hunt goes on, I am trying to get my monies worth. It is tough. I want space, I want wood floors, I want wsg(water, sewer, garbage) included. I want a good deal.

We American's want our monies worth. I came to Idaho hoping to get a bargain price on an awesome legal education...but sometimes getting our monies worth comes at a cost. Just like the popcorn may be a good deal but is gonna be bad for the diet. Sometimes getting your monies worth comes at a price. I hope this made sense... I am on the prowel looking for bargains in my life ( i guess that happens when you got no monies and piles of debt).
