My professors all had the annoying habit of making slides of everything that was in the book and doing those for lectures. Some people used this to just read the book and then skip lectures but I just didn't read the books and then attended every lecture. Serious amounts of money down the drain though.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497701961484073131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471736418049244113.post-32213835121697201962012-11-22T02:56:52.755-06:002012-11-22T02:56:52.755-06:00I'm pretty sure I miss college on a daily basi...I'm pretty sure I miss college on a daily basis.

They provided me with text books on loan for the semester. That's how I ended up with a lot of the textbooks for my generals.
