Did anyone else feel that?

About three weeks ago classes started right, and didn't have any of my books. No big deal, who needs books the first day of class. I figure I'll wait to buy books untill the student senate book sale comes around, and maybe even save myself a few bucks for once. As it turns out the most expensive book that I needed wasn't at the student senate book sale or it was sold out by the time I had gotten there. Who knows. At that point I still wasn't ready to fork out $120 for a brand new paperback economics textbook from Calvin's bookstore. So next I decided to go to the next best thing and that was the internet. I had talked to some girl(yeah that's right!) in my class, and she told me that she had bought her book online at Half.com. Genius! I thought. So I decided to try my hand at the mysterious world of internet textbook buying. Everything went great, withing minutes I was surfing the worldwide web, and ordering away. I got a confirmation email that the order was recieved, and then another saying that the book had been shipped and that I could expect it in a week. This is where things went horribly wrong. I don't know if maybe I was supposed to send them a confirmation email that I had gotten their confirmation email, in order to confirm everything one more time. But one week, then two, and now three weeks have passed and no economics book has even come close to touching my front stoop. To make things worse, tomorrow is the first exam in the class. Sweet.

Hmmm... I would contact half.com as soon as possible and tell them about the missing book. I once had the wrong text sent to me and they refunded my credit card immediately.

"Props" for talking to a girl... did you tell your mom?
