First class in Ed Research

I had my first 3 hour class last night and did not even contemplate snoozing!!!  There are 15 of us in the class, 10 of which are Mental Health/Counseling majors.  I am thinking that I will not be the only one talking.  My textbooks are going to cost around $200!!!  Only 1 more class to go and then my Comprehensive exams and writing my creative component.
