I bought my books for spring quarter today, and I am absolutely baffled. I'm actually getting off relatively inexpensively: two classes, two books, $84--including shipping. This is a far cry from last quarter, where I paid almost $250 for two classes, five books...some of which I didn't even get to use due to the fiasco that was my early American history class.
I'm approaching this quarter with a grim sort of determination, mostly because of the English writing class. I really need to just get it done (snerk, I have watched too much Blue Collar Comedy, because now all I can hear is 'git-r-done'), I've tried it at least three times, that I can remember, and it may be more than that, for all I really know.
I keep hoping that I'll win the lottery one of these days, so that I can go back to school full time. It would be nice to be able to do that, to be able to pursue my educational goals without having to worry about such pesky things as continuing to make a living and paying bills.

My mom's getting married on Friday in Texas--her fiance's dad is also getting married this weekend (Saturday), and he's going to be the one to perform the ceremony for Mom and Spouse-To-Be, so I guess it's sort of a kill two birds with one stone situation. I think they're also trying to make sure he doesn't have to travel this summer, when they will be having the big party up in Seattle.
I'm really excited for them, they've been together for more than 9 years now, and after a bit of a rocky start, I get along fabulously well with him. Not that my getting along well with him is really the primary criteria, but I'm sure it helps my mom that there's harmony in the family.
So...yeah. Excited. Bummed that I couldn't go to Texas to be there for the actual event, but the party in July will be teh awesome. :)
