Ok, so I've finished the homework I had to do for tomorrow in this class called "Electronic Circuit Analysis and Design," and all I could think about was how bad it fucking sucked. I mean, I am NEVER going to use this information after I graduate. NEVER! I figure it is just a way for universities to claim even more money from their students who are already strapped for cash. But thats not even the worst part. When's the last time you had to buy books for class in college. For the love of GOD it is expensive. WTF!?, $150 for a stupid-ass book that I'll use for 15 weeks then be able to sell it back for $25, that doesn't even make sense!!! Then the bastards go back and sell the books for $80 or $90, it's almost f/n illegal. Seriously. Which, is why, I choose to exploit our third0world friends in the Wherever Republic of WhoCares. They're called international editions, from a variety of publishers (www.oup.com). On the backs of these books it reads, "Special Edition for sale in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Myanmar only and not for export therefrom"......................
F....................
THEM.................... Those F'ers can't read English!! I mean, this book is uually $125 and I got the international edition for 35 DOLLARS!!!!!!
35 DOLLARS compared to
$125, thats $90 less than what I would have had to pay if I went to the university bookstore. Now, does ANYONE have a rational and good explanation to why the hell universities should be allowed to rip off their students in this manner?
I suppose what I really want to say is, I will forever exploit these "Low Price" and "International" editions for as long as I am in school.
