Stuck to by the Man!

Our mall is doing a promotion where if you sign up for their mailers you receive a $10 gift card. I had no thoughts of the mall until I heard about this. I was perfectly content. But hey! It's free, right? Another opportunity to stick it to the Man!
Uh, no. I definitely got suckered into spending more money than I would have without this promotion. I told my mom that we were just the types of customers that made this promotion worthwhile for the mall! She looked at me, money still in purse, and said, "Not me!"

On the flip-side, I got a couple great deals! :-P

In other news, I've spent the last three days preparing for my Teaching Diverse Populations final, using my professor's study guide to direct my studies. I was having a terrible time finding everything, but I used google and searched and searched until I had all but a few answered! Well, my professor sent out an email this very afternoon saying he had sent us the study guide for his other class by mistake. He was sorry and provided us with the correct one. I almost took the final this morning! (Thankfully, I need my dad's computer, and he won't be home until later.)  As you can imagine, I was not too enthusiastic to discover all of this.

  1. That's pretty much the worst (the study guide incident)!
