When I woke up last week and rolled lazily over to face the window, all I could see was blue sky and palm trees. Another beautiful Florida morning. My options were boundless: a quick drive over to the beach, a dip in the pool, a long run outside as the warm day unfolded. Or I could board a plane at noon bound for a trip to New York, where a nor'easter had dropped 18 inches of snow just days before. I could forsake Florida's warm weather and Southern hospitality in favor of a snowy city swarming with yellow cabs and impatient commuters.

How much did you spend on books this semester? Too much, three hundred dollars I think.I think my French books cost the most because there were so many of them, but my Psychology textbook was probably the most expensive.
