I'm back to school soon, classes start Thursday, Sept 7. I'm not really 'going' back to school, since my university (Brock University) is about a 20 minute walk or 5 minute bus ride from my house.
However, last year I did visit Dalhousie University in Halifax. Had a great time, but it cost me about $18,000, whereas a year at Brock (and living at home) costs me about $6,000.

San Diego State University starts back up on August 28th. So I have two weeks to build my checking account and pay of my parents before I'm back to being broke during the school year.
Oh yeah and buy textbooks! There goes another $400-500 bucks!

Summer went by soo fast! Atleast next year my School District will start on the 27th instead!
@Tanglewood: yeah having to pay for textbooks suck. Someone stole my Spanish(!) book and I had to pay for a replacement. Not anywhere near 400-500$ though. It was only 56.45

Textbooks are so absurdedly expensive, I think those companies make more than oil companies.
My anatomy textbook alone was $210.
All I got from it by selling it back was $70.
Going to CO School of Mines soon...I think we have some kind of freshmen introduction class next Sunday, and regular classes start on Tuesday...
...but I'm all moved in - I got an apartment, which is lucky for a freshmen. To bad Mines is supposed to be insanely difficult...

I "go back" to Penn State on September 5, although I'm technically not going anywhere. I go to one of the branch campuses, and it's less than 20 minutes from my house. I'll be starting my sophomore year off with a bang: I'm taking 20 credits this semester! I kind of screwed up when I enrolled and took some business courses and then realized I didn't like business. At all. Now I'm pursuing a Math major and a Business/Liberal Arts minor, so my schedule is pretty jam-packed. Here's what my schedule looks like for this fall:
Calculus 3 - Multivariable Calculus
Physics 2 - Electronics and Magnetism
Asian Philosophy
Macroeconomics
Computer Science for Engineers - Basic C++
Accounting 2 - Managerial Accounting
I can already tell that I'm going to be spending too much time on MR instead of studying...

New teacher orientation the week of the 21st.
Teacher in-service days the week of the 28th.
Kids arrive after labor day.
I'm eager (and rested) at the moment. Should be about 2-3 weeks before I'm ready to gouge my brain out with a spoon.
