(i seen her earlyer today and everting we would met as we walked past each orther she would say "hi" and i would say it back.....im am over comming my shyness) well as we walked out of class i walked over to her and we talked to a few mins, so maybe i made me a friend today....BTW her name is Steph! (at least i got her name :lol: )

Glad you had a good day and met a new "friend".

Next time you need books, try to find used ones. My son had to buy a Calculus Book that cost $110 back in i988! He then found a local bookstore that had the same book, but used for only $55 and returned the new one!

So does your new friend know you sometimes bear a striking resemblence to 1980s Michael Waltrip?

that's just the way college books are...imagine my surprise when the last semester of my senior year of undergrad college I spent over five hundred dollars on books!!! One of them was a book that had a new edition each year that came with an updated cd rom...which meant you couldn't even sell it back after the semester was over because they didn't reuse it...BS if you ask me. My first day back in on monday...I don't have to TAKE any classes this semester, but I have to teach two sections of Freshman Composition and probably two sections of Intermediate Reading for ESL students...also, I have to write my thesis and study for an oral exam...and I haven't even thought about books yet. HOORAY!!!

Every time I start to think about going back for my Master's I see something like this and decide I'm edumacated enough thankyouverymuch.

Thank God I finished before the CD-ROM stuff started up. I can't imagine how classes are compressed now that the professors can simply assign a CD to the students and test them on it. :EEEEK:

Actually the beauty of the CD Rom was that it was just an addendum to the freakin' book. The book, which we didn't really use, was worthless in the first place and the CD Rom just had some strange little tidbits on it about monkeys and stuff, not even the cool kind of funny monkey stuff, just the boring scientific, evolution monkey stuff. It was heartbreaking, even though another classmate and I split the cost and shared the book, i still felt like I had wasted my money. Since getting into a master's program, I've harldy had to buy any books, much less any with CD Roms, however, I'm mostly buying literature books and they don't really need a CD ROM...oh wait, there was one with a CD ROM, but it was actually a really good CD ROM that has helped me out since then.
