DAMN THOSE BIO BASTARDS!

Wow, I had to buy this "biology paper" as a lab requirement for $1.15...turns out that it's just frikkin regular THREE HOLE PUNCHED WHITE PAPER! Argh, so this is how the universities make all their money. By sucking it out of every student to buy these "lab requirements". Maannn...and then there were these other sheets of paper that I had to get for 10 cents each (got 10 sheets) and they just have these uneven squares on the page. Maybe its for some higher purpose that I can't even fathom but right now, I'm pissed. I didn't open the envelope with the white paper until right now and it's making me angry. Quoting John: "Barbara MAD! Barbara slam dishwasher door!". Yea, about that...our dishwasher won't close, the latch is busted. I'm blaming the troll girls downstairs but I'm sure the latch was going to break some time this year anyways. But yea, it broke when they used it :P.
Oh! And another thing!!! I had to buy this "lab pencil" which turns out to be a regular 4H pencil which cost me $1.20. WTF??! I mean, I had to buy a new calculator for godsakes...and it's almost exactly the same to the one I have right now. I just wished they did that thing in Queens where they give you a sticker for an approved calculator.

bah, universities just suck the money out of you. they're not happy until every single student leaves in debt...or their parents do.

hey we don't have to buy stupid things like that--SHOULD'VE GONE TO WESTERN.

i did have to buy the calculator though, which is understandable--mine can do integrals and all that.

and our lab manuals are monstrous. but the chem manual + tutorial package totally replaces the need for a textbook.

if you don't need it and you haven't taken off the all-powerful shrink wrap...return it!

i bought calc books and the wrong psych text..and then i got used ones and the right psych text...returned the first two and got 300 bucks back.

Baha, the all powerful shrink wrap...

That's why I always wait until after the first class before buying textbooks. Usually the prof will say if it's required, or if you can buy an old edition...
