I has ANGST because of college. I'm taking a photography class, and the media room here only has four cameras to be borrowed, so I had to buy my own to have a decent chance of getting to use one. I'm taking an art class, and instead of having a course fee, you're just required to find supplies on your own (I don't remember reading about that in the course description). Among the things I'm supposed to buy for the first two weeks is a pad of unnecessarily large paper that normally retails for $30. I only have $60 in cash. I have $600 in college dollars, but virtually none of the required supplies are available on campus, and there's no uncomplicated way to turn college dollars into real money. I'm taking a literature class, and the bookstore forgot to order the required books. I'm taking a history class, and attendance is completely non-mandatory... except for the day that it ends ten minutes before my next class, five blocks away (and both on the third floors of their respective buildings). I went to Independence Hall today for a project for my fifth class. It rained a lot. My socks are still soaked through. And the tour there was pointless. Two rooms and then you leave. And no one ever even checked our tickets. We could have gone back in again if we wanted to. I guess there's still the internet, but that doesn't bring back the subway tokens I wasted. Speaking of which, it'll be a lot of fun carrying all those ridiculously oversized art supplies home on the subway. By myself. Of course, I doubt I'll actually be able to afford all of them. Where do normal people get so much disposable income? I want to be normal.
