$513.43
how much my books for first term are :(
that was like how much my books for the whole year was last year. i'm taking more courses that require big expensive english/sociology textbooks this year though, whereas last year was mostly smaller novels. still, so much $$$$! how is everyone else's book buying going?

i spent all that money...got all my books...my school shut down like 5 weeks later and the place wouldnt take back my books...and its not like books that people in like ubc or sfu or even kwantlen would need for any course grrr hopefully i'll be able to reuse them next year

^that suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.
and i like getting new books! i mean, they're expensive, but i'm looking at all the cool things i'm going to be reading this year and it's exciting me. i'm taking a sociology class that deals with same-sex marraige and like women in society and that should be really interesting :)

in a sense yes, because i get new paint - big huge massive 4 litre cans of paint. and i already picked up all my brushes... and used all of them.
but i really dont like putting out all the money im putting out for it. but speaking of new books, lately ive been picking up a lot of new novels and reading them, and thats been wonderful.

^yeah but what are you taking?
i complain because im in a program where all i will receive is a diploma and i feel im putting out too much money for it. if i were getting something more, i would expect to pay crazy prices. plus its not a diploma i can apply to anything but more education... when im done, ill have a pretty peice of paper with my name on it.... but all the same i love it.

I went to Cap yesterday and bought 9 of my books, it came to roughly $170, I still have another 5 to get and those are going to cost 356$ but If I can find them at the Student Union building or somewhere else I might be able to save 30 - 50$.
I never thought that first year college would be this expensive :P
