Uhhhh….yeah…
So, I mentioned earlier that I had been reading the wrong book for a class this semester. Well, the drama of said book continues…
The book Dr. Shields showed us in class was not one that I recognized – at all. ‘I must have missed that one when I bought my books,’ I thought to myself. I went to the bookstore. Didn’t see the book. So, I started checking it out from the library. Since it’s a required book for our class, it’s on reserve at the library. That means I can only have it for an hour (or so) at a time. I tried to sneak over to the library as often as possible, but I wasn’t getting as far as I had hoped. As I was reading it, I thought, ‘This is a pretty good book. I probably should look into buying it.’
I did a web search for the book today. Saw a picture of the new cover. Realized I’ve had said book in my possession all along. It’s a new edition, and some substantial changes have been made (i.e. no more references to the Bush/Quayle administration). I’d actually read some of it earlier in the semester.
Yeah, I feel pretty stupid right now.

I totally feel like I can identify with this story even though this specific thing hasn’t happened to me. I want to laugh, but I feel too bad for you..
