globalization

I should stop getting stressed up about the fact that I have no way of getting my hands on the textbook needed to do my take-home exam before the submission deadline.

The issue is, the textbook will only be available next Monday, but on that Monday morning, I will be happily flying off to the much look-forwarded Poland trip (because of meat dumplings that I heard were deliciously good and they're the closest I can get to 小龙包 or whatever dumplings that I love).

I was planning to go get the textbook today after school so that I can bring it on my trip this week, but alas the professor said that students had informed him that it'll only be available next week :( I'll only be back on Saturday, and the essays are due on Monday noon, and I can only get the textbook on Monday at 10am. AHHH.

I should just ask for an extension, which the professor said students can email him about and see what they can do, or just rely on the Internet, Google Books (limited preview) and complementary readings, which he said he'll give extra credit for. HA.

Prague and Vienna awaits.

  1. haha pardon my commenting sprees.

    just to share too i didn't buy (or photocopy) a single textbook during my stay in Uppsala too cos the textbooks were mad expensive.

    so i relied heavily on academic papers i found thru the library portal (u can still use the NUS one if your gothenberg one doesn't have it) -- and in fact your knowledge on subjects get much deeper if u study this way. hahaha. just a bit troublesome!
