I guess it never goes away- the excitement that comes with buying a new (oh my god am I really going to say it?) TEXTBOOK? I am a 33 year old mother of a two and a half year old boy...am I really excited about buying a new text book...yes it is for myself!!!!! Well, I do happen to be a bibliophile and while the scent of new non text-books does get my heart going a strange rhythm; the idea of buying anything remotely 'textbookish' (and this includes dictionaries, atlases, maps- which I buy just to pore over etc) gets me closer to the edge.
So what does it make me? A fetishist of some sort for sure! Have I never been able to get out of school or has the idea of 'school' BECOME A PART OF MY PSYCHE?
Hang on why am I obsessing about buying a simple text book? Because I bought it- because I went ( and dragged my husband, baby boy and niece along with me) to the only bookshop that stocks it and which happened to be fifteen kilometres away? Because I am writing about it in my blog? Oh forget it...just my overworked brain finding a release in this foolish line of thought.
Well I have decided to take Delf B 1 and just have to work a little for it.
But that doesn't take away the fun of buying new textbooks.
