You have got to be kidding me.

Very WTF now. Initially I was stressed out about getting textbooks and whether I was going to apply for a bookshop grant. But since I can't get any financial statements, the grant is out of the question. So we went to the secondhand bookshop in the afternoon and got A$200 worth of text. A$12 for this!:



So technically, A$188 worth of essential texts. BUTtTTTtTtTTTt!!!

The damn reader for one of my core subjects appears to be OUTDATED when I checked the unit outline awhile ago. Some articles are in different sections now or not there anymore.

So shitty.. Hwey & I got one each. That makes A$38. Even our Principles of Marketing text is the 3rd edition when the booklist says 4th. See how we're trying to save?

Regret, regret, regret. Should've waited. But we're almost-overachievers, so we want to be prepared. Haha.

Sigh. I will rearrange it if I can. Gotta photocopy everything that's not there!!!!!!! Very wtf.

don't worry. i think it's ok to have that 3rd edition. it won't make much difference with the 4th edition.

if really can't use, try sell it back to the second hand bookshop. whether they buy it back or not. jangan over-risau, ok? :)

I'm not too worried about the PoMkting text. But the Media Studies reader. =)

Ya, selling it back to the secondhand book shop make sense. By next week the University Book Store will get their new books, then can DHL to you lor.

I would. But they cut 25% or something like that for "depreciation". And admin costs.

Anyway, having a 3rd edition Mkting text is okay. I'm more worried about the Media Studies 216 unit reader.

We bought one that appears to be outdated. So a lot of newer articles not found in ours.

I CANNOT tahan having older edition books when everyone else is using the new one. The lecturers will be asking you to go to page *** and you'll be frantically looking for it.

You are allowed to photostat? Thought copyrights is enforced there?

*Gasp*!!! You're right!!! I have to get a new reader then!!

My mum is gonna get the newer edition for us if she can.
