From my afelia blog:
Things (Un)done
I went to school today to a) get back my scripts, b) borrow a book about UN Human Rights (which was really measly, but anyway) and c) buy Econs papers...
Then, I proceeded to Kinokuniya to find any book about speed-studying Econs (but their wasn't). The other things I wanted were the "How to Read Like a Professor" literature book (I wanted that eons ago) and "The Sandman: Brief Lives (Book 7)". I also found that HanaKimi Vol. 22 was out so I got that.
Now, I'm kinda of blur person but this tops it... I FORGOT that I'd already had "Fables and Reflections (Book 6)" but I grabbed that off the shelf and PAID for it... Sigh... I only realized it was the wrong book as I was unwrapping the plastic wrapping at home and I was like "Oh bloody hell-fucking-SHIT!!!" Good old bro was there though and said they might exchange it so I stopped moping around and went back to Kino to exchange it... I didn't really know if they would but I knew I would kill myself with regrets if I never went (though I have other stuff to do like house chores and study) so off I did on Bus 518... I practiced in my head what I was going to say: "Hi. I have a problem. This is really my own fault (for being stupid as those lemmings jumping off those cliffs [though you might as well know this: lemmings don't actually do this]) but is it possible to exchange this book for another?" If that doesn't work, I would add: "Pretty please?"
Well, the lady there was really nice, directed me to the service counter where the lady there said ok... it turns out to be rather routine to them!!! As long as the exchanged book is equal or less than the amount you paid for, you can return it (and I suppose that the book has to be in good condition which OF COURSE my copy of it was)...
SIGH... I think I'm real lucky that the customer service there at Kino is so good...
I still really want to bang my head against the wall for being so uncareful... T_T... I need to change my ways... haiz...
[Note on the lemmings: I'm not saying I'm not stupid because lemmings don't actually jump off cliffs but that the conjuncture about being stupid as lemmings should be corrected should anyone happen to believe the thing about lemmings doing their mass suicide thing... right... that's all...]
Do you really think I can change? Was I born a klutz or can I change? Really, really change? Sigh...
