Airline tickets are ridiculous expensive. I was looking at roundtrip flights for two adults from BWI to Panama City (FL) and it said roughly $400, which I thought was manageable, until I read "per person". Then I wanted to cry.

Southwest is the cheapest I can find, but it doesn't go to Panama City. We'd have to fly to Jacksonville and my mom would have to pick us up (two hour drive or so one-way), and it'd be $422 for both of us roundtrip. (I checked. That's definitely for both of us, not per person.) Still, it's rough.

Expenses I'm looking at for next year without worrying about airline tickets: about $500 for parking for the year plus whatever books cost, which could range anywhere from $100 or so to $500 or so. Probably around the $200 range; I don't think I'll have (m)any textbooks next year, which are the killers.

Then there's airfare. I'd hope I could help Danny with his ticket. I don't want him to have to spend $200+. But I don't have that much money, not even if I empty my savings. I'll have to talk to mom. I asked her to text/call when she takes her lunch today so we'll see.

ETA I keep forgetting to mention... I don't know if I'll be able to double major in psyc. If I do, I'll have to compete to get into the program because I'm not going to make the easy enrollment deadline. I may minor/double major in Philosophy though, and I'll still look into psyc.

:D Can't wait to get all the way up to date with Avatar. I think I'll end up writing fanfic. Did I mention Iroh is a beast?

Tickets to Panama City are always expensive! I think it's because the airport is so small. Flights to Tallahassee are usually much cheaper. Pensacola is also cheaper than Panama City. I don't know if flying to those cities would help you at all, but they are the closest airports to Panama City that I know of!

Plane tickets are ridiculous. A one way ticket from Oklahoma back to Florida is well over $300. A one way bus ticket has tripled. Luckily, I found someone I can drive back home with. But it's still depressing and aggravating!

The only thing more overwhelming and frustrating than filling out FAFSA forms is buying airline tickets online D:

I'll look at Tallahassee, that sounds good. My mom also seems okay with picking me up from Jacksonville though, so we'll see what's cheapest. Thanks... and I'm definitely done driving. We drove one to two times a year from Maryland to FL for about eight years and HOLY CRAP does that get old fast.
