Books, Knowledge and the IRS
Ever feel like all you do is fight? That's how today is shaping up. I spent quite a bit of time arguing with TaxAct and the IRS this morning. I am one of those freaks who actually files her taxes the same day she gets her W-2. Ok so the truth is, I am afraid I will lose all the important paperwork if I wait. Anyway, I got most of that straightened out...just in time to argue with the electronic registration system of the college. I have one of the two classes I needed for this semester and the system is going out of its way to make my life difficult right now. I am pretty certain I will get it straightened out and I will have this class before it's all said and done...but until then...well I want to kick people.
I also found out which textbooks I need and how astronomically expensive going back to school is going to be this semester. The first one I have to have is Framework for Marketing Management and HTML and XHTML. Thank God they sell used books on Amazon. The Marketing book is literally $50 less on AMazon than it is in the bookstore...both used. Oy vey! Ahh such are the joys of being a student again. hehehe.
I start back to classes on Thursday night. I have an hour to hour and a half commute both directions. Should be interesting. I am used to making the drive (it's the same place that my Kalohe works) but not ususally at rush hour. sigh...hopefully the class will be interesting at least. I have to do well...I'm gonna need these skills later. ;-)
**UPDATE** I love the professors at this school! (So far anyway) They actually respond to student requests! The professor for the Web Publishing class let me add. He got me my add code just hours after I emailed him. I must say that it's a nice change to have teachers who do their jobs efficiently. Yay!!
