welcome to my 100th post!!!
i had to go to tri-c for kevin to get him english books friday. now why he didn't get them himself when he was there early or late waiting for a bus is a whole nother rant post.
but i got the familiar to all sticker shock as i paid $80 for a softcover 5X8 book and $40 for the same size used one. what a racket, i again thought.
so i get up to the cashier, and i'm complaining about what a racket when i apologize to her saying that i knew it wasn't her fault, when she says, "as if.."
we agreed that there was no way she would be standing there checking people out of the bookstore if she indeed had that "racket". but we each spent a minute pondering how nice it would be if we did.
then i came home, went to amazon.com and purchased these and his other textbooks for much less. some cost $1.50 or #3.00 but all of them were a steal after the bookstore. i know there are other sites where this can be done, but amazon has always been on time for me and i didn't want to have ryan's dilemma last semester when his books never came.

ya, buying textbooks online is a game to be played no less than a month in advance of class starting, so you have time to *sigh* buy them at the bookstore if something goes wrong.
