Another Day, Another $1,100...Spent

It's been another busy day, and I'm definitely ready to go to bed. I spent way too much time on the WW site this evening, reading posts and calculting points. It was fun, though, because I ended the day with .5 points...and that was after a dinner I considered to be quite a little splurg! So, all in all, I think I'm getting into the swing of things. I know I still need to work on meal planning. That will be my downfall over time. I need to do it for the family, too. Since they are not on a plan, they really don't seem to be that interested in eating giant bowls of salad with no dressing (really, I like it that way!)

Thank goodness Ken has taken over cooking the family meal the last couple of evenings. But I know I can not expect him to keep doing that. He will lose interest in that pretty darn quickly.

On the education front, I took my transcripts to the advisor at CCA. He agreed with my assessment that I really only have 10 general education courses to take! That was a happy surprise for me. I was just dreading spending years doing general ed courses before I could start in on the 'fun' stuff!

I even went ahead and registered for classes over the summer term. I'll be taking MAT 121 - College Algebra and ENG 122 - English Composition 2. I was really thinking of holding off on the English course until my last term, but then I figured, hell, just get it out of the way. And it's not like I hate writing. I'm just not any good at it! lol

I had to really control myself to not sign up for three courses. I know Ken would not have approved. And besides, this is 7 credit hours. That's a lot to cram into a summer. Then, I went to the school's bookstore site and got the textbook costs. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! I mean really...$400 for USED textbooks for TWO classes???? I'm going to start scouring the Internet for these books. First, I'm going to go by the bookstore to make sure I look for the right ones online. Oh, and part of that $400 is for a graphing calculator. Now THERE'S something I'll use all my life long...$115. Sheesh.

9 days to convention...and my dear friend, Susan, told me today that Masi Oka was coming. I almost swooned.
