It’s real now. I just bought my books for my first doctoral
courses. I only had to purchase four books initially. I opted to buy online
through Amazon.com. I elected 2-day shipping. My total in charges was $384.30.
This might seem like a lot of money and I certainly do not like to part with my
hard earned dollars, but compared to my prior studies I felt as though I had
gotten a deal. The RMU bookstore had ordered, and reserved a copy of each of
the textbooks for us. By ordering from Amazon rather than the campus bookstore
I saved over $100.00. Bear in mind that I am not, nor have I ever been a
wealthy man.
I purchased my first car in 2001. I was in high school and
had saved money from working as a caddy at the Fox Chapel Golf Club and a park attendant
for a children’s park in my township. I paid only $500.00 for a four door 1987 Chevy
Cavalier. The car was an obvious lemon- but I loved it. Today the reality of
being a graduate student is that you must be prepared to spend more on books
per semester than I did on my first vehicle.
