May teach us how to run a business, but they sure aren't one.
Let me start with a few days before school started. I pulled up my book list from onestop and bought my two books. About a week in, I realize I have the wrong Visual Basics book. That is a programming book. Something you KIND of have to have. It will finally be here from the bookstore TOMORROW. The university ordered the wrong books. Great.
Now, bring us to today, I am working on my MS Office class, which is BS if you ask me, but that isn't the point. I'm looking for the exercise that is due tonight. Guess what? I have the WRONG F-ING BOOK AGAIN!
ECU didn't ask me to get one wrong book, but two. Now, if they were a business, they would be held accountable for this mistake that is costing me grades. Who is there to hold accountable?
In a way, it is my own fault for not comparing the ISBN to the one on the syllabus, but then again, who expects the university to assign you the wrong book?
Don't kid yourself, they are the right titles. Even the right content, but when it comes down to doing exercises in them, THEY AREN'T THERE.
I cried. It didn't help. I would feel better if I could strangle someone.
