Buying art supplies is definitely going to break me.

Wednesday I went to Alabama Art Supply to buy a compass for my Intro to Graphic Design class. The cheapest one with an adapter for my $30 rapidograph pen was $12.95, so I bought it. I get to my class on Thursday and start using the thing, and it's really crappy. So I decide to return it and get a more expensive/better one. I get to the art store and realized that I have the receipt, but that I've left the compass at home. So I have to drive all the way back in lunch-hour traffic, and then go back to the art store. I ended up getting a different compass that was about $8 more expensive—but it works. Plus, it came with some extra parts. So, I'm broke, but I have a compass that better last a lifetime.
