Holy Cow was supposed to be ordered online since it wasn't available in the local bookstores and I was fine with it, since I've ordered a bunch of stuff online and have no trouble doing it. The problem is that I rely on my scholarship to purchase books and buy college stuff. My scholarship was supposed to arrive by the end of January and the first weeks of February; to this day it still hasn't arrived. After the payment didn't arrive on the first date I went several times to verify why (also they were charging me for all my classes, like I had no scholarship) and they told me to disregard the bills and that it was probably an error of the administration and while I was bummed out they told me that my payment was going to arrive the first week of March so I thought: "Ok, accidents happen... I won't have a long time to read the book, but if it's as interesting as it sounds then I'll be able to do it no problem." So I waited for the first week of March and everyone got another payment of the scholarships but I didn't... I was soooooo Mad! I went to my representative again to see why I didn't get it this time. My representative told me that the reason I didn't get my payment the first time or the second time was because the system eliminated a few letters from my address. I honestly think that it is a load of baloney. Computer systems don't randomly select a student and eliminate a few letters from his address... Maybe they did it because the university is short on funds or something...
I was told that they were going to fix it and that my scholarship was going to arrive... LATE APRIL! I almost started crying... I mean seriously, late April? I practically won't need it by then. That's my current situation, I feel completely helpless and fooled. I tried to look for the book online in websites where they offer free ebooks for college students (even though I dislike reading books if they're not physical/paper copies) and I couldn't find any copies... I probably won't be able to read the book and I feel so irresponsible... I like to do all my works and the fact that I won't be able to do this one because of the irresponsibility of the University Administration bums me out even more... Really can't do anything about it except look forward to the next readings and hope that the situation is resolved by then...
PS. I actually deposited money into my account to order a cheap copy of the book I saw online and then the offer was taken down... Just my luck... -_-
