Textbook Deals

I shop around for my textbooks and have had excellent luck at ordering them all online (and receiving them before classes start. I've added up the "new" costs and "used" costs for the books at my schools bookstore to compare to how well I did with my shopping.

NSCC Best price total: $487.25
My shopping total: $327.41

Wow!! That's a pretty damned big difference!!! I'd gladly pay 327 instead of nearly 500 ANY DAY.

My ethics book looks pretty intense, the Fiction book is immense and I've peaked at the Photography book as that was the first book to arrive - and the first chapter is sailing right over my head but I guess that's why I'm taking the class... learn something, not rehash something I already know.

Am I a dork or what?

I just ordered this shirt.


I'm going to be a Math Major, I guess I've got to find great humor in things like this.

Plus, imaginary numbers really ticked me off with I learned them. OMG!!! What a freakin' mess? It really makes me wonder about the people who created/discovered/invented/smoked crack while they did it. I really consider imaginary numbers as some seriously messed up. you-know-what. Really.

But I'll be wearing this shirt with pride. Wagering is welcome... How long will it take me to wear this shirt to my math class? It's a M-F class (super yuck). I'll be begin posting about fall semester tomorrow. I've already received 3 out of 5 book orders I placed on Saturday. Classes start in 5 days!!! wooo-hooo!
