This is insane. In addition to paying $250 in lab fees, supplies this year cost a whopping $400. Boy is my dad gonna be surprised, especially since he’s paying me back for it. At this rate, I won’t have to buy anything next year ’cause every single art item in the world was required for fall 2005! And yeah, I know some people’s books cost $600, but still — I’ve never had to fork over that much before, and I’ll probably need to replace/refill supplies I already have. Plus unforseen expenses *sigh*
