The days slip past quickly now and more of my thoughts have traveled across the country to my soon to be home of Missouri. Allowing my actions to follow, I have begun finding the all important contacts in Columbia, namely a place to get my haircut and a vet for Maggie and Molly. I spent a long time on the phone with Brandi, my Bloomington Hairdresser, trying to convince her to make a house call to Missouri. When that failed, I wrote down in painstaking detail what she has done to my hair for the past decade. Then I made an appointment with a salon, but had to call Brandi back for more specific instructions. Is it daring to have your hair cut at the first new place in fourteen years the week before you begin law school and the day of your student ID picture? I still have not found a vet, and need one soon because Maggie has developed a never healing sore on her back that she chews on constantly. Her vet also declined the invitation for a long distance house call.
In my previously stated effort to keep you informed of the law school developments, I feel obligated to let you know that my books are going to cost $630 from the University Book Store. After cross checking prices on Amazon, I realized that I could save a whopping $27 but would have to wait 2-3 weeks for shipment. There seems to be some noise about a resale of texts at the law school building, so I am waiting to check that out before punching such a large hole in my budget.
