Fees

I was taking a look at my tuition and fees for my summer courses, and I was pretty much appalled by the amount of fees I have to pay. Check this out:

I added it all up. It's $382.75. My tuition for my two summer classes was $738, which means that fees cost over half as much as tuition. That's insane. I'll only be in class for 5 weeks. I'd better get $82.50 worth of student services in those five weeks, but something tells me I won't. And don't even get me started on the "athletic fee."

I bought Chloe's first toothbrush today. It's green and has cookie monster on it. I would have preferred something without a sesame street character on it, but it was the only brush they had for one year olds. We'll see how well brushing her teeth goes over. Luckily she only has six teeth, so it shouldn't be too tough.

Today I'm waiting for the mail man. I'm really hoping that my refund check from the university arrives today so that I can go in and pay for the first two weeks of daycare today. I don't want to have to try and deal with that on Monday morning. Class starts at 8:00am, which means if I don't take care of that today, I'll have to get up at some ungodly hour on Monday so I can pay for it before class starts. Of course, that's assuming that I get the check by Saturday. If it doesn't get here by Saturday, I don't know what I'll do.

I just found this picture of Chloe and her daddy, and I thought it was cute. I miss Miguel and I hope he can come home soon. I've been pretty lonely this week, but I think that's because I haven't been keeping busy. I've changed my blog layout about 5 times this week, which is a good indicator of how bored I've been. And being bored and not doing much of anything is kind of bringing me down. I've said it about 100 times, and I'll say it again, I cannot wait for school to start on Monday. I hope that I have at least one person that I know in one of my classes. I'm pretty much a loner, but I still need human contact. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have Chloe. I love that little girl so much. Yesterday I made a pumpkin pie and I let her have a few bites. After the first bite, she said "mmmm." It was really cute.
