I have never heard of such a backwards school! Is this retarded, or what!?
I attend a state university. Last week was spring break, and the week before that was the end of eight-week classes. This week is the beginning of the second round of eight-week classes. I went to the bookstore to purchase my new textbooks this morning, and the bookstore is CLOSED until the 26th for relocation on campus. So I’ll have to resort to God knows what to get my books! Who ever heard of a bookstore closing during school, and if they absolutely had to move, don’t you think the students should have been given notice?
yuertydef…how odd, I attend class 5 days a week and check my email daily, but never noticed a posting. Strange.
(sigh) Naomi P., it’s pathetic that I have to help you out with understanding but here is a definition of “retarded”: v. to cause to move or proceed slowly; delay or impede.
Here’s a synonym for you as well: backwards
Before you try to correct my speech, go back to school and get some book learnin’ for yourself.
Way back, when I was in college, I worked at the University Of VA bookstore. When they did their renovation, they set up a smaller store just inside the entrance as well as a additional one in the student center. You need to go locate the store manager and ask them why they did not make this option available to all students when they knew well in advance that they would be closing for renovations. I would also take it up in your campus newspaper as well as to the Student Government board and ask them why, as your representatives, did they not suggest an alternative in purchasing your books once all of you had returned from Spring Break. It would have been more economical and less headaches if this was done “over the spring break” and not at time when students are returning to new classes with no options at gaining your required class materials until after two full weeks of classes have begun. Good luck!
