Well, the good news is my history book came. The bad news is my math book problem is still a problem. The bookstore people actually told me it was better to show up without a book rather than show up with a never-taken-out-of-plastic book that ends up being the wrong one. It feels wrong to me, but since I can't figure out how to contact the teacher (s/he's not on the math faculty, and the only two searches of their name reveals no info on one and an email list and 'tutor' for the other.)

So I guess I'll just show up without one and ask the guy/gal when they show up.

On an unrelated note, Emily and I made Pineapple Upside-Down Cake and did shopping for the apartment. Much was accomplished.

EDIT: It's a guy, according to the class description I looked up. But there is no info on him at all. He's a ghost, apparently.
