Please excuse me while I feel sorry for myself

I have poison ivy, a head cold (sinus pain and sore throat), my period just started, and I just found out that I spent $160 on a textbook that I didn’t need.

I can return the textbook but they might not give a full refund. I removed the plastic and I think they charge $3 for rewrapping. I didn’t open the MyMathLab kit but I did actually open the book and read the first page of the first chapter. The book looks new to me but I don’t know if the bookstore has some magic opened book detector. Also, if I return it, the $160 will go back on the book voucher and not to me. So, I’ll still have to find $50 to pay for the MyMathLab code, which means my boyfriend paying for yet another of my school fees. I’m thinking I’ll just keep the book. Now I’m dreading getting an email from my other math teacher because my other math book also had a MyMathLab kit.
I missed a text from my best friend with an invite to go shopping with her (she shop, me visit). She’s already back and I’m bored and lonely.

On the plus side, my girls did great at agility class last night.

Just saw this thread now - hope today’s a better day for you. Some days just suck.

Aww, thank you! Actually it is a lot better. My head cold is easing off and I’ve started using the book and I’m glad I got it. I realize that I don’t like reading the book chapters online. I’m still really itchy though.

But, what I didn’t realize when I first posted, is that as of the morning I started this thread, I HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE!!! Believe me, that more than makes up for everything else.

I read that too fast and thought your course materials were called “My Meth Lab.”

Vocational school offerings have gotten pretty bleak, I guess.

I saw the same thing! I laughed a bit, re-read it thinking, “there’s no way I just read that.”

Now if it were a chem lab book…
