Only a student then, cost was a huge consideration. That's one of the reasons digital is so great. You can take as many shots and as many exposures as you want - right until your battery packs up. Mine did this morning despite checking it had 3 bars before I left home.
Christmas is coming so a spare one to keep charged in your bag could be on Santa's list perhaps ! In really cold weather it can sit in your pocket and stay warm and functional. I have the extra battery pack screwed under my Nikon 7000 and this not only makes a great fat handgrip but has its own shutter release for portrait mode shots that falls readily to the finger.
