a rude awakening

I am so excited to say that I have completed my final project.  The next step of course is to go get the calendar printed.  I walked into Office Depot and mentioned that I needed five copies (one for the class and four as gifts to the girls at Perry's Ice Cream) and I was shocked at the cost. 

The calendar is 12 pages so I would need 60 copies at .70 cents per page.....only $42....WHATTTTTT!
That cost did not even cover cutting the page or the actual printing.

The only other option I had was to get the calendar printed back to back and insert a binding of some sort.  The binding is "only" $2.30 per calendar. 

I understand that printing is pricey but as a college student I cannot afford to print out my beautiful artwork.  As a result, I have decided to only make one or two copies for my final presentation for the course.

YIKES!
