Remember reading my long and picture heavy post about my spring break? Well, if you haven't you should, and since I'm such a nice guy I've even put the link !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

So, now that everyone's on the same page I'll continue. As I was saying, I had a pretty travel intensive spring break, and with a lot of traveling even the most organized of people are bound to forget things. Well, I'm not one of those people so I'm always forgetting things. In this case it was my $150 dollar AP Physics textbook and $125 graphing calculator that now have become nothing more than distant memories. The thing is that I didn't figure out I'd even lost them until last night when I, like every teenage student, tried to cram an entire weeks worth of work into one long Sunday night and realized that I didn't have the textbook to do it. Even worse, I don't really know where I left them. My first guess was the hotel, but when I called and asked them to look, the search came up empty. Currently I'm waiting on a call back from the charter bus company we used to see if I left it on there.
I'm really am hoping no one stole them saying they were in a Liberty University string bag and the textbook had been stamped as property of my school, but I'm pretty sure someone did because I'm almost certain I brought my bag in the hotel and never carried it out.
Who new I was staying at Hotel California.
I'm so pissed.

High School physics? Can't be that hard, scan and post the homework and we'll help you do it.
Sincerely, graduating BS Mechanical Engineering student.

Congratulations on your accomplishment! I plan on becoming a Mechanical Engineer also.
It's not that it's too difficult, it's just the fact that I now have to pay for a $150 textbook or I cannot graduate. Losing a $125 calculator isn't fun either.

I have an $80 book I had to buy new, only opened once, and no one wanted to buy it when I was done.
That shit should be illegal

Copy on that, Systems Engineer major here!
Would have done Mechanical, except GMU doesn't have mechanical. Boo, UVA, boo!

Looks like this was just something to prepare me for the future: waisting money on textbooks.

Yup, had a physics book I bought for $120, went to sell it back at the end of the semester and because the publisher was releasing a new version in a couple months I only got $15 for it. That's when I started keeping my books and selling them myself.
