Lately the goodwill stores around these parts stared selling, new, low quality Chinese backpacks for profit. They quit selling used ones about two years ago. They have the occasional pack come through but they are usually torn up. I think they do this so you will buy the new ones.
I have been thinking of getting a military type bag. I've been pondering on this for about a year. I may go ahead and make a purchase.
For whatever reason I've had really bad luck with Jansport packs. All through school I had one, and the zippers always broke. Also, the straps would give me problems. This is weird because I know someone who had the same Jansport for over 10 years. They used it heavily, and had no problems whatsoever.
No stairs at my house. No stairs at school. I really feel bad because I have to sit nearly all day long. Usually from 8-4 I sit in a chair, and I don't get to do much walking around. I have never sat this much, not even in my high school days. I decided to attend college, and all I do here is sit. I sit at school, I sit at home to do homework. Its really annoying. I get a ten minute break every hour, and an hour for lunch, but it doesn't seem to help. I'm not liking this sedentary schedule, but I will graduate in December so I will be free from sitting all day. When I do happen to find some stairs I either jump down about seven, or bunny hop up about two. There are stairs around here, but I don't ever walk em. I bike em.
