highway robbery!

$604.12= 4 books.

That is not a typo. Four used textbooks cost $600.

I am going into the wrong career.

Note to self: look into the textbook industry.

extortion

Classes start next week. So, yesterday I bought my books. I have just one word to say--EXTORTION! Textbook companies/school bookstores should be ashamed of their pricing. I bought 4 used books and my total was $436. I can buy some rare books for less than that. It is just ridiculous. And if I decide to sell them back to the school I will only get about $10-$15 a book (if I am lucky). Sorry, I just needed to rant a little bit. The beginning of every semester makes me just a little more mad. I should be used to it by now!
