and I still haven't gotten my one textbook in the mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told my professor a couple weeks ago that I didn't have my book yet so he said to go to any library and read the textbook so I don't fall behind. I searched for this book amongst all the Allegheny, Fayette, Westmoreland and Washington county libraries and the only library that had it was the Pitt Hillman library. So I went there today (today was such a bad day I can't tell you). I couldn't check it out because I am not a Pitt student and neither does the library have reciprocity with California University or Westmoreland County Community College. My Carnegie Library card doesn't work either. I was offered a guest card which would cost $100. However, if I was a paid alumnus I would get for $50 or even $25. I ended up scanning quite a few pages of the book for free and emailed them to myself but then I stopped because I thought it was pointless. I didn't want to read the book in the library and absorb the information in my head because I felt desirous like an old, white man fart and wanted to sit at my office desk or chair and have my own copy and read it. I did think though that if I was reading it in the library I could get my assignment done on the computer simultaneously but as a guest I was allowed no access to the Internet. (and then I had these thoughts like what the fuck am I doing I am gonna fucking kill someone).
