School Starts!

School started yesterday. (Or, technically, two days ago). I'm really not ready for school to be starting again, but nobody asked me.

What I like is that one of my friends from PCC that I mentioned earlier is now coming to BJU! I get to play chauffeur this semester, since she doesn't have an extra car lying around the house. It turns out that being a town student at BJU is cheaper than being a dorm student at PCC, especially with the LIFE scholarship (lottery-funded $5K a year for a 3.0 or better average). She's a lot of fun; a lot more interesting than talk radio at least!

Books are expensive, just so you know. I figured that if I bought all my books new, it would cost me something like $500. So, of course, I sought out cheaper options, like Half.Com and the "University Yard Sale" website (which is basically an exclusive BJU bulletin board for selling stuff, usually textbooks). Oh, it also helps to buy expedited shipping on Half.com if you want your book before classes start. (stupid me; I should have ordered a long time ago...) Fortunately, I have a nice teacher, so I got to photocopy the stuff I'll need before my book gets here.

I think I'm going to like my classes. I don't think I have any teachers that will be just unbearable to listen to. One has a really southern-ish accent, and another one sounds a little like Coach Z, but no one is really boring to listen to. (At least, not yet.)
