Being Vanboozold 101

I had my first geography class today.

Just about all of us was inside before the teacher came. During that time. A sweet old lady who spoke Spanish walked down my desk isle selling the geography book to the class for $80.

She asked me if I would like to buy it, in which I responded, “I don’t speak Spanish.”

Another student told me what was going on and I asked her how much she got her geography book for. She told me the new ones are $130 and the used ones are probably about a $100. I ended up buying it. I figured I’d have to anyway and I’m really tight with money right now. As this old lady left, the teacher walked in.

Quick side note: The teacher was very old and flirting with the lines of being senile…I don’t think she’ll survive to the end of the semester.

The teacher handed out the syllabus and I noticed the required book was the 9th edition. I had on my desk the 8th. I jetted out of that classroom to find that woman. I was shocked when I actually found her. I ran a direction down a hallway purely on gut instinct. She told me she used it last semester and it worked fine, so the lady and I both went back to my class and I asked if the 8th edition would be fine and she said yes.

I gave back the money to the old lady and that was the end of that.
