It's Official
I am now a student of University of Massachusetts Lowell.
I had about 24 hours to decide on summer classes and I thought "what the heck, let's do it." So yesterday I changed my matriculation to start with the summer and registered for my class. While I wanted to get some of the required courses out of the way, the only ones open were the major stats courses. I do not want to take stats in the summer. So instead I registered for Forensic Psychology. That should be a fun one. :)
It really is amazing how much cheaper UMass is over BU. My course at UMass is going to cost a little under $1,500. The same class at BU will cost $3,000! This is not including the ridiculous price of textbooks either. The one for this psych class is $153. For. One. Book. Is that a rip-off or what? I thought it was bad my students would have to pay $80 for their textbooks, which is why I don't make them buy them.
On a sillier note, I think Loki has actually grown again. The poor guy is already big enough (around 20lbs and none of it is fat). He is definitely going to be on the larger end of the scale for Maine Coons. His brother Monkey, though, is on the smaller end but he got all the brains. I swear they are the kitty version of Pinky and The Brain.
