breaking down

I've been tough, resilient... I swore that I wouldn't give up.... but ... I am afraid to say it I have been broken. As I look back at last week of classes, looking through ads, browsing WebPages, in search of that Holy Grail; That used course pack, complete with highlighted paragraphs ... there was no light at the end of my tunnel. I will have to suck it up, head the The College Store and purchase 2 cellophane wrapped course pack and one obeist textbook. But to me this isn't a huge lose. I have 13 required texts this semester. So I am 10/13 ... not too shabby.

Why be so cheap ... so it's not just about the money. ... ok .. it is. Books are way to expensive. I was going to pay well over 700 dollars for all those books. That almost the cost of one class. Plus, most profs don't even use the book. so to all the students who complain about high text book costs .... I'm doing it. I will not longer pay outrages prices on texts (Unless I can't find a used one and it is absolutly required for class) . ;) ha ha ha! well, my financial management class is calling my attention. I better get to it .. (note: This class required 2 texts and a special calculater)
