Money doesn’t grow on tree, despite what I wish

So yesterday in History I notice I have the wrong edition of the spine book we are using (spine book the main book which the rest of the books in the class spider off from). So I figure maybe there weren’t many changes.

I head to the bookstore since I need to check on the Econ book because I really don’t want to spend 60$ on the computer program only when the whole package is only $100. Of course they don’t have the package, so no package for me it looks like I’ll have to spend that $60. I also check out the history book and learn that yes in the past 9 years it has been majorly updated and I do need to get the newer version.

So I pick up the book for $40. Which was not high on my list to spend, on the plus side the last edition of the book which I did buy was only $4.50 so I didn’t really lose money, I just spent money I didn’t want to.

So in otherwords I get to spend an extra $100 on books for my classes that wasn’t in my originial plan. Which sucks, but in the end since my Dad more or less pays for my books I can’t really complain too much.

On the plus side I am getting money back from refunds, though mail in refunds are a pain because you spend the money and then get back the refund 8 to 10 weeks later.
