I hate buying school books. D:
I'm taking five courses this semester so I can finish up my AA in English.
A Short Guide To Writing About Film(Literature and Film): $45
The Great Conversation(Philosophy): $95
Sexuality Today(Human Sexuality): $130
College Algebra(College Algebra): $160
Physical Geology: Exploring The Earth(Physical Geology): $200
That's over half of what my tuition alone was. Like...seriously? You can get the exact same books from South America for half the price.
HOWEVER. I didn't buy all of those books today. I only bought the first three and spent $260. The College Algebra book I bought last Spring semester from South America for like $50. The Physical Geology book I'm buying tomorrow, used, from another student for $80.
Book prices are ridiculous.
Buuut, this semester I have to get them all because my goal is to make all A's this semester so I can bring my GPA waaayyy up. Currently, my GPA is a 2.17. :/ No bueno. However, my Academic Warning is gone, so thank goodness. I was scared I would get Academic Probation because my second semester I got an F and dropped a course that I was failing.
So, I'm taking super duper notes and actually participating in a legitimate way and asking questions and already starting to get help in Geology, since that is the only class I'm worried about.
Soooo...go me! Hopefully gonna be able to get into U of H or A&M. Starting to consider A&M again since my friend Brandon wants to go there and without him...I'll honestly be super lonely here.
