Half.com Gone Wrong

Alright, it looks like this blogging thing might be a bit more than I can ask of Dizzle. So from now on I'm gunna be briefer. More breif. Fuller in my brevity. Anyway...

Have you ever bought something from Half.com? I decided that was the best way to get my text books this year. They're cheaper...way cheaper. I even got one for $0.75. That's like fairy land, right? Well, what seems too good to be true usually is (seriously, I've been all about that this month), and like I mentioned, Half.com went wrong.

I guess it was my fault. But why don't they have some sort of system that checks to make sure you type in the RIGHT address? Yup, all my books went to what turns out as an imaginary address and were returned to the Half.com sellers. That means:

1- I've got to repay for all the shipping costs (which was double the cost of the books in the first place).
2- I've got to wait at least another week for repackaging and shipping,
and 3- I'm gunna be 4 weeks behind in my reading now...come to think of it, we've got midterms before those books are gunna get here.

Moral of the story: I'm not going to take responsibility for my own actions anymore. I'm done with that stuff. From now on, blame will be placed on my choice of:

1- The "man"
2- The "system"
3- Somebody's little brother or my cousin

Thanks to Carrie Anne who's basically letting me use all her books so I won't have an excuse to fall behind...and those Kate Spade glasses are hot.
