those are just the required books. there's also a big packet of copied essays by various people that cost $50! i have equally large stacks of books for my other 3 classes. i practically doubled the amount of books i own. i found out that one of my anthro classes, Signs, is cross-listed as a linguistics class, and it's a 400 level class. that's going to kill me. half of the books for it are about linguistics, which i know very little about.

now i have to go get a bunch of people to sign all my forms so i can switch majors and advisors. i got my final anthro paper back today, and i don't think i've ever had such nice things written on a paper. it might be the best paper i've ever written. i'm so glad it turned out good, i feel like this might actually be possible.

on saturday, after staying up all night & my head still in outer space, i took the bus to downtown to go to the sheet music store by powell's. i picked up the orchestral score of "tabula rasa" by arvo part, that i'd ordered a while ago. it cost $35. i can't believe i spent $35 on a score. but i'm obsessed with that piece, and it felt like that's the closest i can possibley get to the music. kind of like having sex with it. i really can't get any closer now unless i learned to play violin.
