well, this semester, due to some financial complications and such, i didn’t get to register til real late in teh summer, so I couldn’t go and buy my books early, since I wasn’t totally sure wut classes i was taking. all the used books were gone, boo.

but ya, even used books on average will cost 80-120 bucks…it sux…i’d take the effort to go on half.com or something of that sort, but i usually dont think about buying book til about the weekend before school starts. every now and then i’ll have a friend that will hook me up if they or a friend has taken it. stupid profs change editions so often though, sometimes there’s no choice but to buy new. i’m moving to canada or europe where the same books are cheaper. butthole capitalists…lol.
