fahye: ([witb] fortune faded)
Oh, to be in first year, and to have all of one's textbooks laid out in helpful piles on the Co-op floor. Textbooks with simple one-word titles. Biology. Chemistry. But those innocent days are gone! $450 later, I have: two possibly sprained wrists, two possibly dislocated shoulders, and the following:

- Principles of Neural Science
- Immunobiology: the immune system in health and disease
- The Student's Guide To Cognitive Neuroscience
- Abnormal Psychology: an integrative approach
- Abnormal Child Psychology

I am extremely put out by how much it all cost, because I REALLY WANTED all of the not-required-but-recommended texts for BIOL3141. Mim's Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease! WAAAAANT.

I did, however, greet my beloved Thursday campus markets with much rejoicing, and buy two paperbacks from my favourite tiny secondhand book stall. (Tom Robbins' Half Asleep In Frog Pyjamas, because my current copy is hardback and ENORMOUS, and Val McDermid's The Last Temptation, because I am craving new Tony & Carol and book form is better than nothing!)

I blame 'Two Cathedrals' for the fact that I have to either skip past this song immediately or be in an utterly unemotional mood to listen to it. Because I know exactly when the cleaner is picking up the cigarette in the cathedral, and when you see the shot of everyone's feet reflected on the floor, and when Leo says watch this and

oh buggerit
