Why College Sucks
This semester I have more books than Jesus had followers. Seriously, what the freak?! I spent $123.47 on my own credit card plus I charged $49.87 to my dad’s card. This is after I used about $107 worth of U of A giftcards. It wouldn’t be so bad except I have two more classes to go to next week. No, one class next week and then the other the week after since it’s a Monday class and next Monday is a holiday (although, lucky me, I get work!). I tried to save money by buying online instead of the bookstore for most of it. Which makes it all the more depressing! I was hoping to pay my credit card bill in steps so I wouldn’t feel the burn as much, but with the extra hundred and something going on there I decided to just pay it off now and start all over.
It’s funny, I suppose, since I spent close to $500 for my doll and didn’t have nearly the same amount of panic attack about that as I did when I saw my Amazon cart total go up. Oh, that reminds me…I didn’t actually buy all the books I should have. I don’t need the ones I left out just yet, so I decided to do my heart a favor and wait a while.

Oh Jesus didn’t have any followers! He just shows off in the bible… he might have had two or three. Just enough to make that pieace of bread he split last to all of them.

Eek, but $500 doesn’t really sound too much for an English major! *pets anyway and distracts with doing a white girl dance*

Sorry Marie !!!
OMG, I would HATE to spend that much money on books for college… I would go mad, thinking how much Wine or how much clothing I could have bought with it
Or how many Silver coins, Wheeheeheee… .
Don’t use credit cards, they suck- They make you spend more money than you have and then you’re in freaking debt… That ruined my family when I was a little girl !!!
Buy with cash, even if it is more expensive than buying in Amazon

Kat, if that’s not so much why did Marie freak out ???
Just for fun, I prepared this… 500usd in my hands would be enough to buy:
1- About 20 dresses to improve my little wardrobe
or…
2- 70 bottles of average quality Wine (an entire collection)
or…
3- 32 Silver coins (at today’s price)
I would go mad if I had to spend that in boring college books :p

Because I remember how much text books can cost a semester. And besides, it fun to be meanish.
It would just about buy “Dillui” minus shipping, no wig, eyes, eyelashes, or faceup. *wiggles*

Dillui is $500 including shipping, wig, eyes, and eyelashes!

Maybe I was trying to forget the free shipping.
But that other stuff is random and you’d have to get your own anyway!

You can ask for a specific wig/eyes!
By Marie

I knew you were going to say it!
But you are not guaranteed to get the right kinds.
Plus, if you have a character specific faceup it could cost up to 150 extra, and you need to put clothings on her too, and shoes!

They will give it to you as long as it is in stock *nods* And the custom faceup is only $70 oO
By Marie
on Jan 24, 2007
But, it’s not a given that you’ll get the right one. Also, maybe you wouldn’t want the custom faceup! Or, maybe not everyone would want it!

Ok, so, $600 if I buy another wig! But!! I could sell the wig they do give me
