So, I'm officially on vacation and trying to manage my summer classes. This seems like it would be totally doable since I'm just at my mom's, and yes, she does have a computer with the Internet. Only, I forgot my textbook, and like any good nightmare, I need it for our final next week. My husband suggested going home early to my response, "uh I don't think so!" What was I going to do? I could call my friend and ask her to mail it to me. However, I have no idea where I put that book last week :-( . Sounds too much like a pain. I could call up the local college bookstore. No luck, they don't have the book. This is when it hit me. I am an educational technology student! I could download the rental version from Amazon. Perfect!
Yes, that was my solution. I paid approximately $17.00 to rent a book for 30 days that I already own. I know its dumb. Sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do! I'm just glad that I am "tech savy" and knowledgeable enough to know about the online text rentals!
That was some quick thinking. Being out seventeen dollars is a small price to pay for staying in step with your classes. Way to think!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Way to think on your feet.
ReplyDeleteI felt your pain...I was out of state for the past week and a half for a conference. The internet connection in my room was awful...worse than dial up. I improvised and survived, but thank goodness that I am home for final week.
