Here I go, ranting again: :)

To practice being "professional" we have to mount all our homework projects on illustrations boards AND she recommends printing out the stuff on glossy coated paper. Now... the illustration boards costs 2 bucks for a simple 18" x 24" and our next project requires bigger! And printing glossy? 65 cents at nice places, $1.79 at not-so-nice places. Per page! How many projects do we have? I haven't counted, but I think it's at least six.

Oh, and we should use spray mount, not glue, so that's another few dollars for a can of that stuff. I just spent a ton of money on drawing paper, animation paper, portfolio case, etc, etc. ARGHHHH!!!! Art is just too damn expensive.
