Buying books for classes is always frustrating; today's experience was no different. Like several students who were in class this morning, I rushed over to the bookstore after class to purchase the required text. Upon arrival, I stood in line to wait for a locker (this is typically a dreadful routine during the school year since the line can be very long) to find out, several minutes later, that it was not necessary to put our bags in a locker. I was a little irritated that they did not inform us earlier but I brushed it off and proceeded down the stairways to get the book. Once I found the "UWP101" section, I walked over and scanned the shelves for the text. A student from the class walked over and joined me in the search for the book. A few minutes later another student came by. After a short conversation about the necessity of the bookstore to order more copies we went our ways. On my way towards the stairway I caught sight of the book in the arms of another student. I asked her if her copy was the last one. She said no and pointed me towards the shelf that I can find the book; who would have thought that a UWP101 book would be shelved under ENG3! I was a little frustrated but was glad that it was cheaper than the expected price so I once again forgave the bookstore staff for being unorganized. Hopefully the other students who were searching for the book found it as well. I really like the concept of the text since I’ve always wondered where certain words originated. I only hope the course will not be as difficult to grasp as the task of purchasing the text.

I was frustrated when I was getting the book. Seriously, who would have thought that the UWP101 books are placed under the ENL3 shelf?
