I paid $350 for a friggin TEXTBOOK in college! If I could have afforded a bag like that in college, i prob will have just spent it on whiskey and beer. Now that I DO have the money? I DO carry book and run errands with a $400 bag. I like it, it does the job and it maekes me happy. Even if im doing something tedious. its nice to look at.

if you hve the money, and it won't strap you., GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!

I am still on the fence about the tote. I really want it, but wagging it all over campus would be rough on it. I am not really worried about the weight of the books since I only take what I need for each class. By the time I get through my lectures I have chalk all over me and would probably end up getting it on the bag as well. I think my project for this weekend will be finding a tote that is a little less expensive and more appropriate. I don't really need a travel tote right now, so I will probably end up passing on it. :sad:

Thanks for all the advice ladies.
 
LOL, I guess I did talk myself out of it. Today I dropped the eraser and it fell into the bottom of the lecturn and chalk dust went everywhere and I couldn't help but think that it was a good thing I didn't have the katy tote under there since all my stuff got chalk dust on it. I guess that means I should really use more durable stuff.... or the university should clean the erasers every now and then. :smile: the amount of chalk that flew out was rediculous. Oh well, I went shopping tonight and bought some stuff, so I am good for now.
 
I have the bad news.. Dirty floors, and people steal.

I wanted a metallic beaded tote until i found out the tote had suede and schools arent clean. Also when you go to the bathroom are you going to lug your tote and all those books with you to put it on the dirty nasty bathroom floor? I ditched my tote idea and picked up a jansport backpack for school.
