ouch
In case you wondered, this is what $240 worth of course materials for a dietetics student looks like:
Yep, that’s it… and I still have 2 classes (plus general supplies) to buy for, and all of this is out-of-pocket. That saran-wrapped book on the bottom? $120 alone. Say it with me: ouch!
I have lots, lots more to write about, but right this second, I have to go lay down and take a nap; spending that much money on stuff I’ll never use again after December has me feeling a little woozy. LOL
Sorry for the crudeness, but I always feel raped after having to buy text books. It’s an insanely profitable industry.
Seriously!!… although I have to admit that I was just checking out my student bill for this semester online, and was appalled to find almost $1,000 in fees that… I don’t even know WHAT the hell they’re for. All of higher education is a serious racket, I think, but one we’re willingly buying into.
After this semester, financial aid *should* cover my textbooks and such. The payments just aren’t going to come through fast enough for me to be able to get my books on time this time through.
