Well today I went down to SCC and got my books. OMG! Expensive. A whole $240...and I haven't even gotten my last two books because they weren't on the shelf. Also...I bought 2 used books. I don't know if we can afford this every 3-4 months.

Ahhh.... so they're open.

I'm trying to get my lazy ass son to get ready... we're heading down there shortly.

Good to know on the cost. Guess it's time to sell plasma.

C'mon bio, you did college... you know how expensive books are. I remember dreading book buying every year. Welcome to higher education kids, it ain't cheap.

HA! We don't buy a book every year...more like every quarter. And all I have to say it...what have I dug myself into. 6 books...in three months... will be very busy.

My mom went to an online college bookstore. And the books that costed me $102 (Our French book) costed $4+Shipping which was like $15. Hmmm. The Online Store

I had to buy them every semester (twice a year at GU) so early fall and mid winter sucked. Wait until you try to "sell them back" heh, that's a joke. The goal was always to try and get enough for a large pizza. Sometimes we did it, sometimes we didn't

Heh. Yeah that's why I think I am going to post something first asking if somebody want to buy the book from me at 50% the price of the bookstore.

heck books cost on average $70 each in my part of the world. stop moaning. mabey "mary had a little lamb" would be more appropriate guys? about $1?

i agree though. and out of the 10+ books advised the exam etc seems to revolve around the one that cost $5.

I am moaning because my family does not have the money as it is. But it sure beats the hell out of paying the tuition.

You could always go into art as a major. People who make work in traditional media, like painting and sculpture go through at least $200 worth of meterials per semester in addition to the armload of pricey art history books that go with the academic classes.

Not that being in a non-traditional media works any better for me. I'll be purchasing a HD camera next semester. Price tag for that? Before the upgrades to my mac that will come with it? $2000.

Its a good thing I plan to be a Professor and not just an artist.

I am going to need a lot of math and science. But I have to take my basics first. But since I was in honors classes these get both Highschool and college credit. w00t!
