THE MADNESS OF THE BOOKSTORE

last night i went to amazon.com to see if i could find any of my texts at a very good price. i found the text i need for my social psy class for a mere $4.75, and with shipping and handling, it only came to $8.24, probably less than a quarter of what i would have had to pay at the bookstore, thank god!

so, i went by the bookstore today to pick up a book for my forensic anthro class. it was a frickin' $83.75. isn't that horrendous? it should be a crime. of course, i had to buy it new, so that didn't help at all. and then i checked the price on office for mac and since it was only $79.95, i picked up a copy of that too, and so for a total of two items, my receipt rang up for $175.98. gaH! now i'm just waiting for the first of the month so i won't be totally broke anymore.

on a happy note, i booked my train reservation to see my love on labor day weekend. so, i'll be leaving on the 2nd and coming back the 6th. i can't wait! it's less than a week now... :-D
