Taking classes

I shall be taking a few classes at the local community college beginning January 16. They had the books online today through the college's website. Wow. I'd forgotten how expensive they can be. Even if I buy them used at the bookstore the one is $58 and the other is $104. But, I looked on Half.com and Amazon to see what I could do about getting a better price. Unfortunately, my economics book is still really expensive even if bought through one of these sites, probably because it is a newer book. The computer book is from 2004 so I was able to snag that up for $20 including shipping and handling. I saved $38.. not too bad. Textbooks really are pricey and you never get back very much for them. I used to sell mine online because our university bookstore didn't give back much at all for them. I like to get a head start on getting organized so I will be going up to the bookstore tomorrow to get the other book I need. Any jump start is probably good, with having a 4 month old around....
