Sisters Remember Bookfield

My sister and I were just laughing today, remembering how horrible it was. We went into it together, of course not knowing what it would really be like. We thought we would sell some books and then hang out together. We only saw each other at breakfast for the first 8 weeks, until finally we just started blowing the whole thing off. You just have to take the whole experience and laugh about it because what else can you do? It was the craziest, loneliest, scariest, most underappreciated “job” a person could have. I remember one Sunday we were sitting in McDonalds eating 99 cent double cheeseburgers and jealously watching a guy clean up the trays at the garbage bin, because he had such an easy job (that paid by the hour).
