50% off at The Skidmore Shop

I'm gonna give you the 411 on a sweet sale we're having at the Skidshop. Show up between 8:00AM and 8:30AM on Monday August 24th, and you are gonna get a sweet 50% off of most merchandise in the store. Yeah..there are exceptions, such as Apple computers and Apple products, textbooks, netbooks, tradebooks, healthy and beauty, newspapers, magazines, some art supplies won't see a discount...as well as a few other things I can't seem to think of right now. But that leaves the rest of the store vulnerable to the 50% discount. But again..the catch is you have to be at the Skidshop between 8:00AM and 8:30AM on Monday August 24th.

We'll even supply the coffee. Well....WE won't. But our pals from Dining Services will.

Speaking of the Dining Services...

I love d-hall tuna melts!!

You hear that world?!?!!

I LOVE D-HALL TUNA MELTS!!!!!!!!!!

Oh...I should also mention that we'll be closing at noon on Monday.

Online textbook buyer vs college bookstore buyer

So I was ummm......"researching" some information online when I stumbled across these YouTube videos about buying your textbooks online vs buying from the college bookstore. They're fun to watch and informative.  They were created by some students over at the University of Missouri. You can find the rest of the series on YouTube and searching "I don't hate the bookstore" or you can click here.

Today is the last day to pre-order your textbooks!

Hurry! Today is the last day to pre-order your textbooks. You have until midnight tonight! Click here to order.

Textbooks!

Yes. Those are boxes of pre-ordered textbooks piled high in front of my desk and blocking my view to the outside world. Must be close the first day of the Fall Semester.
