Damn It...
Okay, so it's August now. Summer's winding down, back to school soon...bleh. I swear, break isn't even over yet, and I'm already having problems.
So I went online yesterday to order my textbooks. Classes usually start at the end of August or the beginning of September, so I figured the time was right. That's where the first problem happened. I check the schedule, and find out that classes start on the 15th. That's one week from today. =/ I thought I had at least two more weeks, maybe even more. What the fuck, seriously. Not cool.
Now, that's rather annoying in and of itself. But, oh. It gets worse. See, when I checked my email this morning, I got the expected shipping notification from one of the bookstores I ordered from. But the next message in my inbox is also from that bookstore, saying that one of my books is on backorder. Yeah. I'm one week away from the start of classes and I have no idea if I'll be able to get this book any time soon. There was no indication of when they expected to get more copies, or anything like that. And, as far as I know, there's nowhere else I can go to buy it, either.
I guess all I can do is tell my professor, if I don't have my book by the time they start assigning homework. But I have no idea if they'll cut me any slack for it. I mean, they should, since it's not my fault the bookstore ran out. =P But just because something's the decent thing to do, that doesn't mean that people will do it.
And I didn't get a shipping notice from the MSU bookstore, yet. Granted, one day is too soon to really worry, but still. KCTCS shipped my books that fast (the ones they had, anyway), so why not MSU? Hopefully it'll ship tomorrow, but we'll see.
I swear...I'm already anxious about starting classes again, sooner than I'd expected, and then this happens. I'm not sure if I'm more angry or upset. Stupid emotions.
