Dear College Bookstore,
If it gets to the point where you can immediately recognize a book title after the first word, especially when it's in a foreign language, because of how many students have been asking for it for the past week of not having it in stock, there is a problem.
I really don't know what's going on. I know books run out and that's all well and good, but when they can't even stock a book after a week? They said they'd get a delivery LAST week Tuesday and yet not a single book. They're stocking all the other textbooks just fine, so what is it about this one that they just simply fail at? Everytime I try to figure out what's going on, they just give me a dazed look. No one has any idea where the books are or even a clue when they might be in.
This wouldn't be so annoying if; one, there wasn't a narrow window in which people can use financial aid and two, the book wasn't double or even triple the price of other textbooks and thus makes it very difficult to try and buy without financial aid.
And my Spanish class? Not even half the students had a book. It's like someone in this chain of book being made to book being delivered is SURPRISED that the number of students that registered actually, GASP, NEED THE BOOK!
