Perpetual Smile

I feel sick right now, and it isn’t just the cold I caught.

I just got back from a vacation in Idiotville and decided to register for a class this summer. The bill? $1126. For just one class.

I can set up a payment plan, which would be four payments of $281.50, plus a $45 payment plan fee with the first payment. Can you say ouch?

Did I mention that I also need to buy CS4? The copy of CS3 that I had is dead (don’t ask: it’s a long, painful story), and the trial I downloaded dies in three or four days.

I’d just let the CS4 go but I need it for work. I can’t very well take on freelance jobs with just MS Paint and Notepad.

The question here, folks, is why in the world does one class cost more than a thousand beans?

I know I’ll figure it out — I always do — but in the meantime, I’m going to consider bounty hunting or human trafficking.

PS: I forgot to add that I also need to buy a new phone; my current phone keeps turning itself on, even though it’s already on. Yeah.
