school

My acceptance letter came today!

So I left work early (I'll have to make up the time tomorrow) to rush over to the school so I could choose the lab I wanted before it filled up leaving me stuck with a crummy time period. (Anybody who has ever had to enroll in college classes knows what I'm talking about!) And then I rushed over to the financial aid office to make sure all my student loan money was in place (because what would life be without 50years-worth of student loans to pay off?). And then I rushed over to the bookstore to buy my books. This is the point in my story where my eyes popped out of my head and I was struck dumb.

My books for the Summer semester (just the Summer!) came to almost $700! Apparently we are also issued a small elf to carry our books from class to class because I can't believe that books alone can cost $700! The tragedy is that we'll probably actually use only a quarter of any of them and be fed that same line of shit I hear every semester, "These will be great reference tools." I'm here to tell you, I've never once pulled out my Algebra book to refer to something.

Anyway, classes start in two weeks and last for 12 months. Let the bitching begin!
