Hi, first-time recapper here! It’s like the first day at school, I’m all nervous. Since my mother threw out my old SVH collection, I’m going to make do with whatever I can find in the charity shops. So far I’ve found... well, this one. Bear with me, it’s stupidly long. I don’t have the art of concise recapping down yet.

The cover is less frightening than normal, although the artist has made quite a shocking error. I couldn’t find a picture, but Todd has been given BLUE eyes. No, no, artist! Todd has coffee-brown eyes. Elizabeth and Jessica have ocean eyes, Todd has caffeine eyes. Come on now, this is basic stuff.

So for the last couple of years I've been using a parcel travel wallet. I loved it. It was huge and held all my credit cards, receipts, cash and i.d in separate organized places. Unfortunately, I'm over it.

I looked desperately for another travel wallet but none of the ones I found had enough presence. My parcel wallet wasn't much of a looker but it was a busy pink pattern on canvas...it had some personality.

I recently took a trip to forever 21 where I found...

Hello, all.

So, I am moving out of campus housing to an apartment I just got. Does anyone know the name or have experiences with those man with a van things? I see advertisements for them everywhere and they are all over craigslist.

So, I guess first, does anyone know of the name they have used before?
Secondly...what questions should I ask (besides price). I am just nervous because you hear those horror stories of people getting their stuff stolen or lost.

My lips are extremely chapped.  I woke up Tuesday morning and they were just completely chapped up.  Cuts everywhere.  I was trying really hard to think of what caused it, and the only thing I can think of is that on Monday I talked a lot in all my classes, and maybe that caused it.  Is that possible?

I've been in incredible pain every time I open my mouth or talk the last two days.  I've gone through two tubes of Blistex.  It's not helping.  I can barely open my mouth because I have cuts on the corners.  My top lip is completely raw.  It's a disgusting feeling.  It's like my lips are covered in plastic.

Any suggestions to make it better?

I know this isn't TOTALLY community related, but since I'm thinking that TALKING TO MY CLASSES is what caused it, maybe someone else experienced this too and can HELP ME PLEASE.

 ~Any advice on what exactly to put into a letter of intent? 
~How different is it really from a coverletter? 
~Anyone willing to let me view their letter of intent? (minus the specific name/school details)

I was acquiring about potential open position where I sub to a union person & she said that they are still playing the shuffle game & filling in a principal spot, but there are more than likely a few openings. She advised me, since I already have a currently online app on file & probably a file folder of old paper things from before they went paperless, to send a letter of intent to inform the hiring person that I am still interested in working in the district and am available for the upcoming year.

THANKS!
