dropping comp lit 141

[ayashi]

I dropped Comp Lit today... went to Food for Thought books and went to buy the first book and the little course book thing that is filled with essays she wanted us to read. It was $35 dollars... so I changed my mind PRETTY quickly. I figure, without the class I have 14 credits... that really isn't that bad at ALL. So I'll go for it and obviously I'll be taking like 18 credits in future semesters anyway, so better to have another class I'll actually enjoy rather than spend ridiculous amounts of money on a class I'm going to hate.

Plus, the $35 book was made for THIS semester which most likely means the value of it will be 0 after this semester... so I dropped it. Now this semester is REALLY awesome since all the classes I'm taking are, I believe, classes I will like.

Art class today was good, we got to just manipulate photographs (that they supplied) using basic tools (meaning like everything in the little toolbar, but not filters, etc). It was nice but sort of sucks since we have to continue the SAME project wednesday, so there's another 3 hour class... don't know what I'll do :( I'll try coming up with some new nifty ideas for it etc. Anyway, having fun in that class... we got like THREE new packets to read that are all pretty long, I think they'll be interesting though (as long as they are actually talking about COMPUTER stuff, not trying to show how computer things are destroying the "originals", like regular photography being taken over by digital, etc, because I can really only take so much of that before it gets irritating).

So yay :D Gonna go take care of homework now. Chris just left for his Dean's Book class so I'll start working on my mountains of Japanese homework that's due tomorrow.

Try spending $15 on a manilla envelope that contains three photocopied packets.

haha yeah, I've spent a lot of money on "one book" before too :) not like the $35 is the MOST I've ever spent on one book, I just think it's bullshit that she does that for nothing more than a book of essays, when she could have had Campus Design & Copy do it and have a little packet that cost like, 5 bucks, instead of $35.
