Amazing that books cost so much for college students who can't work too many hours!! <BR/><BR/>It looks like you had a great trip and he will be home soon for break before you know it.

(Although it does seem science and math books add up faster than most!) Hope you are doing well with your adjustment to just 2 kids at home. The first one is tough!

I used Amazon and Half.com and their prices were LOADS better than the campus and local student bookstores.Alisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448916359451757683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9920809.post-69183747114500409222007-08-24T17:40:00.000-07:002007-08-24T17:40:00.000-07:00It's been 6 years since I took the college ride wi...It's been 6 years since I took the college ride with DD#1.
