School starts up again next week... I can't believe it. I feel like I barely had a summer at all! Probably because I really didn't, with being in school until mid-July and working every single day. The good news is that this will be my last full semester of classes! I have this semester, then student teaching, and then I'm done, besides the couple of Master's classes I have to finish.
The best thing about this being my last semester is that this is the last time I'll have to buy hundreds of dollars worth of textbooks. I had to buy five books today that totaled.... wait for it.... $397!!!! Ugh! One of the books was custom made so you can't rent it or buy it used. I'm assuming that you probably can't sell it back either. It was over $200 alone.
In undergrad, I pretty much stopped buying books because most teachers never made us use them. In grad school, however, we use them a lot more. I have also discovered the beauty of actually reading the chapters the tests are on. It makes studying for the exams a lot easier.
To ease my pain, I also bought myself a lime green university t-shirt. At least one thing I bought was a bargain today!
