Well in all fairness, I was just estimating.

I looked it up and apparently the tuition is now $28,352 per year to be exact. And that doesn't include room and board. Add that in and the total becomes approx $40,000.
But goodness, how much does your school cost? And I thought I was suffering...

I assign something I know a lot of other Facebookers would like to assign: New Facebook. I've managed to wiggle my way out of using it up until tonight...and now it seems I'm stuck. I've always been someone who's a bit weird about major format changes, and this one particularly bothers me. Mainly because it's slower and the layout's clunky. Though I think what bothers me most is the fact it's not centered. I don't know why I'm so adament about having things centered, but if the designers at least fixed that I wouldn't feel so annoyed...

$32,000 tuition, $10,100 room and board as of this year. Then you add fees (another grand and a half on average). Then you can go buy your books (I spent around $700 this term). Worst part? I don't even like my school.

I assign to Mordor that the fact that most of the books I need right now from the library are either on loan, lost/damaged, and long overdue. I hate our school.

I assign good books to Mordor. They call out to you, begging you to read them when you know you should be doing homework or cleaning, or for that matter sleeping. The same can be said for The Barrow-Downs and Facebook.

I assign Capitalism because it's caused a certain bank takeover which is making us worry about the certainty of our household income.

But without capitalism I wouldn't have an income at all....we can't all work in the public sector....

When the people you live with are all mad at each other. Not just "she forgot to do the dishes AGAIN." Door slamming nobody's talking to each other tangible angst mad.

Writer's block and every fool who says it isn't a real affliction.
