Better News
Well, things are looking up a bit.
I was upset before because one of my textbooks had been backordered, and I was worried I wouldn't get it by the time classes start on Monday. Well, I got an email this morning saying that it had shipped, with an estimated delivery date of Monday. So I'm relieved; I should have it in time. Really, it's not the shipping I was worried about; I was just afraid it would take a long time for them to get more copies in stock at all. Thankfully, they were prompt about restocking! And it (like my others) is coming from Kentucky, so that usually isn't a long wait for it to come in the mail.
Oh, speaking of my other textbooks, I got them on Wednesday. The one from MSU, too. I guess they just didn't send out an email saying my order had shipped. So I was glad to see those packages. I haven't really looked through them yet; the classes aren't posted on Blackboard or Canvas yet, so I figure I'll just wait a bit.
One more bit of good news. Dad found out that Paul McCartney is playing a concert in St. Louis on Saturday, and he got us tickets! This will be a lot of fun, I'm sure. Dad and I have seen him twice, but Mom never has. We asked Rich, but he's been so worn out from work lately that he didn't feel like going out. So it won't be quite all of us, but nearly. I'd imagine we'll stop somewhere and eat while we're down there, so that'll be nice, too.
The concert is in Busch Stadium; I've never been to a concert in a stadium before. And apparently this is the 50th anniversary of the time the Beatles played in Busch Stadium, back in the day. So that's cool.
Well, it sucks that classes are starting next week, but this is a good way to end summer break! <3
