Back to school stuff

August 27th, 2008 at 06:38 pm

I added all the school related fees, and it's $504!! No wonder we are so broke....

Marching band fee $180
PE clothe $25
Theater tech fee $22
School picture $58
Year book $60
ASB fee $75
AP test $84
Total $504

At least, I didn't spend much on school supplies. We still have a bunch of index cards that were dirt cheap at Office Depot. and I bought some notebooks from Staples that were 5 cents each.

Talking about school, I'm going back to school next week, too. I will go to school from Monday through Thursday.... It sucks... On Wednesdays, I leave my house around 6: 30 p.m. and won't come home till 9:30 p.m. I only have 5 more classes to finish my B.S., and I am doing 3 classes in fall. So, I will just suck it up and do it. They are all accounting classes. Fun..... Audit, Advanced Accounting, and International Accounting. I started reading International Accounting book and it is actually interesting stuff. It talks about different approaches of reporting by countries and mentions how German company would report lower profit in their financial reporting than American company would do. I work for a German comopany and always wondered about that. (Germans like to "hide" their profit, and want to report nice linear growth curve.)

I guess I will spend my Labor Day weekend reading textbooks.

    My husband also works for a German company, but here in the US. He says the same thing.

    PCJ,

    Yup, it's for one high schooler. And, you reminded me that I'm buying an entertainment book from her as a school fundraiser. That will be $45. I also have a cookie dough catalogue for marching band fundraiser.

    Does anybody want to buy some cookie dough? LOL
