I bought my law books today. The cashier must have seen the look of panic on my face, because she said "they'll pay themselves back." Umm, yeah. They better. Also, lugging them back to my room was a pretty sucky experience.
But on the bright side, watching the terrified eyes of underclassman trying to process having to buy that many huge books was pretty priceless.
