so...
i'm currently having a fit because THERE ARE NEWER EDITIONS OF THE TEXTBOOKS
oh yes there are. and the bookshop does not have them.
and... it should.
i think... something is going on... with US versus 'international' editions of textbooks. best i can figure... it is b*llsh*t. like zoning restrictions on DVD's or whatever... I don't understand it in the textbook case...
is it something about different academic year start dates? because our academic year starts march?
i'm about to start a new semester... and that is around the same as the start of a new academic year... so why can't i get the newest textbooks for my classes??
if i order them online... they get (indefinitely) held up at the shipping stage.... and international editions have a different ISBN
F*CK*NG SUCKS
is what i have to say abotu that.
so, uh, who wants to ship me a textbook?
?
dammit...
