Yes, I won a contest. I would be super enthusiastic about this, having won free merchandise just by submitting my name and address, but this happens to be the one contest I wouldn't mind losing.
In March, Del Rey Manga sent out their March Newsletter, and inside was a Negima!?Neo contest. I was excited--one, they're finally publishing the 'second series' of Negima, and two--I could get it for free. I submitted.
But two weeks ago when the May newsletter came, I won. I was shocked--not in the way I hoped--to see my name on that list. Then I thought "wait--holy cr**, I've already bought this volume..." Then I thought "Holy CR**! I bought it at Frank and Son..." I was screwed--even if I got the free volume, I wouldn't be able to return it to, say, Barnes and Nobles, so it's like I wasted $11. I was dissappointed...
Any how, the package finally came in today during school, so I have two volumes of Negima!?Neo adorning my shelf. Here's ya go:

Let's see, what else is of importance...? Well, I've got finals for three days starting tomorrow, [ugh].
JUNE 10
Geometry and Biology
JUNE 11
Architecture and English
JUNE 12
PE and Spanish
But after finals is summer--kinda. I'll be practicing for cross country so my mornings and sleeping-ins are shot, which sucks. But running's fun and even though I'm no Prefontaine, I hope I'll get faster. [Knowing Frank's training, I'll probably get faster and really sore after the first few weeks >.<]
Also, this is concerning MANGA: I ordered a few things off of RightStuf!, and I already got the confirmation e-mail saying they've shipped it, so I should be getting my stuff no later than next week. I'll take a picture when it comes. :D
