I'm mad I had to buy this.

If I'm already hemorrhaging $$ for college, I shouldn't have to additionally pay-to-play classes.

It wasn't the worst but the gist of it could be summed up via bullet points on a post-it note. BUT. I read it. Manhours were spent reading it. So I'm counting it towards my GR goal.
