No this isn't an infomercial, nor is it a funny little story about some mishap in the powder room. It is what it is. Here goes...

The weather for my trip to GSCC bookstore today couldn't have been more appropriate. It looked like Spring. It felt like Spring. It even smelled like Spring. I practically floated through Allen Hall toward the bookstore, as I silently sang Zipadeedoodah. The attendant brought out my big heavy box of books. I looked at my receipt. I wish I could've seen the look on my face; the attendant did. She responded sympathetically, "I know."

The cost of tuition for Spring '06: $1350.

The cost of books for Spring '06: $532.25 (apparently they charge by the pound!)

The consolation prize? One Schick Quatro for Women free(?) sample placed in in the heavy book box. And NO, there were no refills included!

Now I find myself silently singing Just a Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down... If only I had stopped at Cothran's on the way home.
