I don't remember paying more when I took a heavier load (26 units one
quarter with special permission from the Dean). I hate to admit it, but
I stole books when I couldn't afford them. I did put them back after the
courses, though. The UCLA bookstore was too easy. I used it like a
lending library.

True. $1500 now is probably the equivalent of the $500 you and I paid.

I can't see doing anything for the rest of my life. I'm ready for
retirement. Emotionally, anyway. Financially, I'm as stuck in the
workplace as the rest of the world.
