I'm just going to put them all online and put them in a box for now. Hopefully, most of them will go. There are a lot of slack people out there who won't buy a book until they absolutely need it!

I've got all of my books to sell sitting on a shelf in our hallway. The shelf is filling!

Heh, I usually sell back the books for a class right after I take the final. I know it seems silly, but it provides some sense of closure (especially if it was a class I hated and I never want to see anything that reminds me of it ever again *coughCalcIIcough*)

I'm really frustrated - I was able to get almost all of my books for the upcoming semester before winter break started, but there's one book I need that they still don't have in stock, and I'm going to have to deal with the insanely long slow lines that happen once break is over for that one damn book.

Last semester, the bookstore that was supposed to have all of the books for one course was really, really late in getting them in stock. We had to go get several of them literally the night before their dates on the syllabus.

Oy, that's awful.

My roommate took a course last semester where the professor decided not to submit his required reading list to the bookstore, so everyone had to go find the books (many of which were out of print or very difficult to find) on their own. She ended up having to withdraw from the course about halfway through the semester and couldn't even get rid of the books because she didn't get them through the bookstore.

I'm afraid to look at the lists of books I have to buy for this semester.

*wave* Is anyone here?

Book buying/selling is not something I am looking forward in college.

I'm here!

Hey, Elphie, you wanna buy aaaaall my books? *bats eyelashes*

Hey, Elphie.

I usually sell my textbooks back at the off-campus bookstore (you get more money than the one on-campus) for most of my classes, unless I liked the book or something. I just have more use for the cash they give back than I do with the textbook that will just collect dust on a shelf for the rest of my life.

This was my friend's away message regarded book buy back, it made me laugh so I saved it:

"Someone please, oh dear god, call SVU... I was... raped today and I know who did it............................it was................................. the textbook buy back counter 5 F*CKING DOLLARS for a thick book of classical plays and 2 other playbooks. Hopfully I'll be able to come back to my computer once the bleeding and swelling of my rectum subsides enough for me to be able to sit down..."

Hi, everyone!

Allie, silly, I said I *didn't* want to buy books. :-P Sorry.


Eww, skittles, that's...graphic.

My exams start on Tuesday. I need to start studying.

I spent $650 in books and lab supplies last semester, and managed to sell back one book for $45. The rest were out of edition and so I got nothing for them. It's a very frustrating process.

Posted: 1/14/06 at 10:03pm

ugh. I have one class that I'm not thrilled about because of the time, but I can't find ANYTHING with which to replace it. Everything I like conflicts with something else, which I'm not willing to give up. *is sad* I don't want to be in class until 7 at night, but I guess I'll deal with it.

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 1/14/06 at 10:11pm

Sorry Elphie. I remembered to edit the f*ck, but forgot about the rest.

My whole schedule next semester is still up in the air. I have to add at least 3 classes once I get back Monday. I hate starting off the semester with an incomplete schedule, it just makes you feel so behind everything.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 1/14/06 at 10:14pm

Hah, it's okay.

Emcee, that's too bad about your class. How many nights a week is it?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/14/06 at 10:15pm

Yeah, and it's no fun to START OUT feeling behind. Then you're just screwed.

It's Tuesdays and Thursdays until 7. It's not AWFUL, but it pushes back the start of my weekend Oh well. I think I'll just suck it up and do it. I'll have to stop using my three hours between-class-and-homework buffer zone, though.

I'm still hoping I can switch out of the 8 AM class I got stuck taking (damn having a late registration time because of all those AP credits I was told not to use), but I know it's not gonna happen.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/14/06 at 10:17pm

What class is it?

[Mandi Moo]

Posted: 1/14/06 at 10:18pm

Brokeback Mountain was amazing!

Isn't it something?

Management & Organizational Analysis - it's a class that all business majors at my school have to take and should get out of the way by the end of sophomore year. There are multiple sections of the class, but the lucky bastards who got to register before I did filled up the one that meets at 11, and by the time I got to register the 8 AM section was the only one that was still open.

It really is. Even though I knew what was going to happen, it was still so great. I liked it more than I thought I was going to. And everyone in the theater seemed into it too.

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 1/14/06 at 10:26pm

Mandi, that's what I thought too. I had already read the book and didn't really like it that much, I figured the movie wouldn't impact me too much. Wow, was I wrong about that.

Ugh, I still need to seeeeeeee iiiiiittttttttt.
