Hello all!! I am going to buy my corrections text book tomorrow from another student for $30, then I am going to make my way to the book store and buy my other books, hopefully the line won't be as long as it was on Friday. I went down after my classes finished and the line up wrapped around three walls and in between a couple of isles. I went in, got my two books and looked at the line before making my exit. I would have stood in line for an hour to buy 2 books. I actually don't even need a book for my young offenders class, so I gave Karen back her text....its going to be online instead. I'm going to just borrow someones text book for my communications class and photo copy the few sections that we are using. It's a $70 text and the professor isn't even using 3/4 of the chapters in it, what a waste of money. Then for my modern theory class the text isn't to much, but the other book she wants us to get is alot more expensive. The thing with the second text is that she apparently worked hard to get the rights to photocopy it and put it in a repotext, the bookstore ordered it so now she wants us to buy the expensive text over the (usually) much cheaper repotext. For my Society and Ecology class the same proff (Machum) forgot to order the books, so we won't even be able to buy them for 4-6 weeks. She's a pretty good professor in her marks and evaluations, but she is pretty burnt otherwise. I've had a nice weekend though. Friday Sam, Mark and I sat around talking and having a couple beers...on Saturday we all went out to the Cellar, there was a live band playing.....and tonight we are going to a belated birthday celebration for Joe at Dooly's. My first class isn't until 11:30am tomorrow. We got Joe a funny card....it says on the front "Happy birthday from a couple that admire and respect you"........open it........"Just Kidding...it's from us" . I like it, I got it for pretty cheap at the Hallmark store, which is apparently going out of business. Anyway I'm going to go watch some CSI.....comment!! :)
