   "Hey Gypsy, I meant to tell you that on Monday, my prof was calling your name, she had you on her class roster. She didnt call your name on wed though, it must have all been smoothed out by then." Thanks ! Hopefully that means they didn't screw t...

5. Does anyone get their books unbound?

   gypsydancer replied to my3suns's topic in General Students

   curious me, did you check more than 1 place, because that seems very surprising, I was told at Staples, each book can be 2" thick, hard to believe your book is even 10" thick, thus it shouldn't need 10 sections, or even 5 ... sunraygurl, have u had ...

   So I went to Staples, since they are closest to me, and they charge slightly differently than Kinko's, they charge $2 a cut to cut the book (my book wouldn't fit in the cutter, so I had to use an exacto knife to split it in half and then they cut eac...

   Mine doesn't have a hardcover, so that's not a problem, I'm definitely going to have to go do it now. Our Fundamentals book has 10 units, each with approx 5 chapters, and we're not even using 3 of the units at all. I'll probably just keep the units ...

   How much was the unbinding (cutting) ? And did you notice how much the other options were, I really love the look of the strip or bookbinding options they have ... And why am I bugging you when I can just call them in a couple of hours ?

   heartnursing, I used to feel EXACTLY the same way you do. People were always asking if I'd actually read the hundreds of books on my shelves because aside from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and The Bridge Across Forever, all the rest of them ...

    Weird, part of the reason I reposted the facebook link was to see if I could clear off that "incompatible browser" message everyone else got, but I got it too ... I would've posted my essays rather than describing them but my computer had a meltdown ...

    to AngelsMom2005 I live in PA, have CL, and was the first to receive a rejection letter, snail mail, no email, no explanation. To all, I appreciate all the empathy and sympathy ;-} I am tempted to call and ask why I was rejected, but as others have s...

    I'm sorry, I hope no one minds that I use the nkudos to say 'thanks', 'congrats', 'i agree' and 'I'm sorry', it seems the "I'm sorry" is when you need the kudos the most But I love your attitude, it's not the one I had yesterday when I got my letter...

    Hilarious, I almost did, I live much closer to there, but I was worried about how deserted that hospital always is, so I'm doing WBGH and Birchwood (I think) in Nanticoke. I do think that means we're in the same class though, I'm pretty sure I'm in w...

    AddiesMom, I'm going to Luzerne Comm Coll, you ? I suppose it is for the best, I would like to transfer to U Pitt anyway and they probably wouldn't have let me. But man, it still stings ;-{

    I just realized thanks to berryb, that the chances of my getting this scholarship were almost exactly what they were to get into my school, there were over 1200 applicants to my school, and they let in 140 of us. Guess that's why I had my hopes up. ...
