College: £161, Deathwind: Stop eating our money you foul demon! D:
So you people who pay attention to my mindless rants may remember how a while back (three months next Thursday!) I was making a deal about how I was going to college this year. I started about a week and a half ago, and Jesus Christ it's expensive.
I think the bill so far's about £86 (of my own money for once! D:), with another £15-odd going in tomorrow when I have to stock up on more paper. Add this to my £60-odd student deposit and the fact I haven't even been told whether I have to pay for textbooks or not, and... yeah. I don't even want to know how much money university's going to cost me/my family. If I even go to uni in the end, considering I could do just as well as an accountant without university and simply clawing my way up in the world via an apprenticeship.
Having said that, though, it's... fun, I suppose. Certainly better than I expected to find it, having taken Maths, Accountancy, Economics and Psychology, with Introduction to Adobe Photoshop as a side qualification.
Yes, that's right, Accountancy. I'm officially the most soulless monster you'll see on this side of the Internet, but it's something someone has to do, and the only thing I really see in my future is a ton of numbers. So yeah. The fact I haven't looked at my Accountancy homework and simply said "OH GOD NO WHAT IS THIS BULLCRAP" is a good start on that path methinks. :3
So, I dunno where I'm going with this. On one hand, college is great. On the other hand, college is being fricking expensive, even before I volunteer myself to be shipped to Kenya over the summer holidays to teach starving African children how to speak English and build their villages for no reason other than it beats sitting on my ass all holiday and it'll look great on my CV.
I'll probably be posting somethimg along the lines of "oh god this sucks i am once again a slave to the education system" in a couple of months. Until then, though, I'm off to deal with some homework.

Either way, I'd kill to only pay $200 something dollars for supplies/books (I think that's what the total number of pounds adds up to with the exchange rate, but I wouldn't quote me on that).
