I don't do readings for classes. Well, I do. Just before the midterm.
Anyways. Just ran my ass over to innis in the pouring friggin rain, and it apparently it's on reserve. Woulda been nice to know.
Jeffrey Chan let me his textbook though. Goddamn I owe him.
Seriously pissed off though. I figured I'd bought it since I've spent 620 on books so far this term.

Perhaps this will teach you a lesson.
I mean you spent 620 on books, you might as well read them.

Why would this teach me a lesson. I spent 620 on books, I thought I bought 5. I READ them, I just don't read them as soon as you might. Everyone's got different studying techniques. I got a book, I'm going to read it, and I'm going to pass. Problem solved.
Me forgetting to buy a book has no relevance on my studying habits. o_O

I bought one edition prior of the stats textbook from MSU Undercover for $10. They have a lot of them still, probably for around $20 or so. This textbook is practically the same as the 11th edition. The prof even posts assigned questions for the textbook I have.
MSU UNDERCOVERS
MSU UNDERCOVERS
MSU UNDERCOVERS
located in the musc basement, across from the Underground print centre.
good luck though. just study the material in the lecture slides and you should be (somewhat) ok.

I meant if you did your readings weekly or at least looked at the readings before this you would have known that you didn't have that particular book.
Sorry if I offended you, I was just saying.
I'm not perfect, I don't do all my readings and I've certainly left it to before an exam to catch up on reading or actually crack open a textbook at all.

Heh, sorry. Not offended, JUST STRESSED. Had enough of it with my midterm today, then I found out I didn't have a book which I thought I had.
I'm just on edge.
Sowwy.

Wow good luck on your stats midterm if you started to study today......
I started studying on Wed... and I'm guessing I would be stressing as I'm writing for the midterm.. lol!
And you're in second year? From what I know, you're not in Honours Commerce yet!
Honours Commerce starts in Level III.
Good luck being tortured with midterms on Fridays and Saturdays consecutively for a few good weekends.. Haha....

Ah, good old Stats. It seems this year is the same as last year with Marketing and Stats back to back. Last year I had marketing on the friday night, and Stats on the Saturday morning. I opened my stats book and started studying for the first time @ 10pm the night before (Right after I finished the marketing exam).
Writing the 8 AM stats exam on 45 minutes of sleep was interesting....

you should definitely get some sleep tonight (at least 5-6 hours). Don't deprive your dreams of the life they deserve!

I don't dream. >_<
Mostly nightmares. Trust me, not sleeping is a blessing.
