  3. As a fellow Floridian, I can relate to more than a few of your “bugs". I hate that Florida weather is hot one day and cold the next, it makes it difficult to decide what to wear each day. I also agree that Pub Subs are delicious and worth the wait, but the long wait bugs me. You should check out my bug list at http://ent3003tb.blogspot.com/2016/01/bug-list.html.

  4. The bug lists you provided is high relatable, especially with the weather and unnecessary textbooks. I live in more toward south from gainesville so the weather is usually warm and not as fickle as the weather in town. In addition, I have a class online that the teacher told us to purchase a 300+ dollar textbook, but we hardly ever used it. In conclusion, great work on your bug list, below is the link to my bug list. http://jzent3003.blogspot.com/2016/01/bug-list.html
