Yay, I was able to add into the evening class. The instructor seems really nice. The vibe is much different from the day class. The day prof is one of those very swingin best buddy prof types, that everyone likes to kinda suck up to. Plus it had those irritating yappy women in it, who felt the need to comment on everything.
The evening class is much quieter, yet the prof is very mellow and cool.
Does have three books that I need to get tho, what's a good website to get cheap textbooks on?
At least I will be able to return the day class books next week for a full refund. I have carefully refrained from removing them from the shrinkwrap.

Half.com has tons and they are much less expensive!The only thing is that it may be up to two weeks before you recieve them.I know I've seen a simlar site that is JUST textbooks but I can't remember right now.I'll dig around.(I think it was on glitter that I saw that)

luckily this prof is exceedingly cool bookwise, and the first three week, the reading is all handouts, to give us time to find books cheaper.
Actually the most expensive book I need ($100), I found used copies of the 5th edition (latest one is 6th, and Prof said try and get at least 4th edition) at Amazon for like $5, Hello! Hmmm, $100 or $5, which one shall I choose?
I'm gonna place my order today :)

Another site to look at is isbn.nu

They search a ton of websites for the best prices.
