Dad offered to reimburse me the $215 for textbooks.
Add on the $19 I already have, the $162 the government is giving me back, and the $4 the state is taking away, I've got. $392. Enough for some new clothes, makeup, and prescriptions (if I get them, ever)
Not enough for laser or electrolysis though. I'll discuss more with him about it, and for a trip to Howard Brown in Chicago, when he calls back in an hour.
