The Verdict . . . .

Well, I’ve purchased all my books for this next semester of college. How much did I spend? Will I be spending the next 3 days rocking back and forth huddled in a corner while cradling my wounded debit card? Are my new textbooks going to mock me every time I open their evil pages? Not really. I was really surprised and happy with this semester’s haul. Since I’ve already sold my left kidney to buy last semester’s biology and chemistry books (and I’m really very fond of my right one) I don’t need to buy as much this time around. The verdict? BabaBUM! . .. . . .  $316.25!!! That may not seem so little but I’d spent a good $700 last trip to the dreaded bookstore. As a treat, I bought myself a new book to read: Roma – The Novel of Ancient Rome by Steven Saylor. It sounded good, so it’d better be!

*No kidneys were harmed in the purchase of these books
