#74 "attend the Charleston library sale and build my classroom library"

 EDIT: since I got my teaching job (YAY!) I have edited this goal to the Berkeley County library sale :)

I went there this morning with $75 in cash, planning to spend every single bit of that on books for my new classroom.  I was the second person in line, carrying my giant LL Bean tote bag ready to be filled. It felt almost as exciting as a Black Friday sale, and as soon as they opened the door I pounced and started snatching every children's book I could see and throwing it into my bag. When the bag AND my arms were totally full, I reluctantly approached the checkout counter and presented my books...the grand total came to $11.00.  I was so excited by this, I put the books in the car and went back again....That time, the total was $6.75.  Bringing my total for the morning to $17.75 for EIGHTY books.  I am so excited and can't wait to share them with my kiddos on Monday!
