Our school received several bomb threats after Columbine and each time we had to evacuate the school to a different location. One threat came with literally twenty minutes left in the school day and we were held past the final bell, and it was a huge mess. The second one occurred right in the middle of an AP US History test, which if you pass you get college credit for. When the announcement came to evacuate the building, we refused to leave and our poor proctor didn't know what to do. We argued that we were finishing our test and it was not real anyway. He had to get the principal to force us to leave. It always made me so furious that there were people I went to school with every day who thought it was a great joke to capitalize off of another school's tragedy just to get out of school for a while.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-84227584472751640322018-06-18T21:18:07.432-05:002018-06-18T21:18:07.432-05:00ER services, an overnight stay, etc get pricey her...ER services, an overnight stay, etc get pricey here but my insurance is really good. Without it, my bill just for that Sunday afternoon to Monday afternoon would have been over $20,000. While $2500 is still a lot, it is lower than I expected. I have two more follow-up visits but those should not be terrible. One is an ultrasound to look at my kidney and the other is the office visit with the doctor.

Books are stacked two deep on this five shelf case, plus I have some stacked right in front of the shelf on an end table. And I have almost 700 on my Kindle. I don't NEED new books, and I have to start being a little more responsible. Mostly because I was in the hospital overnight in the beginning of May, and now I need to pay that bill. But once it is done, I'll be back to my old ways :DSarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-66094359804207005032018-06-17T21:12:42.580-05:002018-06-17T21:12:42.580-05:00Thank you very much!

I had a brief hospital stay and at-home recovery thing going on for the four days following, so now my hospital bills are starting to arrive and I have to be an adult and pay those instead of buying books.
