Ticked: I had to spend $160 on a TI-84 Plus because I didn't have the cash so I had to use my aid money at the school bookstore. I wish that aid and loans and whatnot just went through at the beginning of the semester so you could use the leftover earlier. I could have saved myself over $60 I'm sure. :(

Damn, had to read post twice. I know dsheinem bought a used one for $25. That was a TI99/4A though.

Could you claim a reimbursement?

:) My AP World History teacher let us retake a quiz we did last week that everybody failed. Brought my grade back up to a B from a C (originally an A; how could a 10 question quiz drop me down two letter grades?)

:( Jadusable put Haunted Majora's Mask Cartridge on hiatus today. Great stuff, man. Only wish he could'a squeezed some more juice out of it...

...an import game arrived much earlier than expected from Japan.

...the mailman left a "you can pick it up at the PO" card instead of the game.

You can go get the box at the PO today. Just give your local one a call and see if that particular mailman's finished his route for the day yet.

I've dealt with missing the mailman and then waiting a week because they lost my package when i went to the PO the next day.

It sucked.

I wish it were that easy! The PO is across the street from my house even! But they are only open when I am at work an hour away. :|
