Today, while I was telling the female volunteer how I'm not a social person and pretty much hate being around people, there was an awkward silence. She then quietly said, "It was much more interesting inside." She got up and left shortly thereafter.
Today, I received my English book that I had ordered through eBay (with my cousin's account).
This is so funny, because when I saw this book going for sale on eBay, I was surprised that it started off so cheap and that no one was bidding for it. Usually, this book goes for more than $70, and I thought I was getting an awesome deal! Anywho, after I had bid for it (which wasn't that much), I then, realized one day later, that the book was the teachers version. Man, I felt so dumb. But, actually, not really, since I was the only one to bid for it, which ended up being $4.99 in total (including shipping and handling). Mind you, this was my first time bidding for something on eBay.
So, whatever. Long story short, I just logged into my cousins Ebay account and noticed three messages from the person whom I was buying this book from. I had sent the seller an email about four days ago, asking if the book can get to my place sooner, for my class on Wednesday (not realizing that I'm ordering the wrong book).
So check this out...
She send me a message asking me to cancel my bid.
"Hello. This is the 8th edition but it is the Teacher's resource version. This is not the correct book for you and it would not ship in time for your class. I would ask respectfully that you cancel your bid. My items sell AS IS and I do not accept returns. If the listing ends before you cancel I will simply issue you a PayPal refund. This book is probably $30-40 new? Please let me know and we will work it out so we are both happy. Sorry for inconvenience but I'm sure we can figure it out. Thanks."
Haha, what an idiot! Why would you tell me that the book usually goes for more? Obviously, I just a got a good ass deal, without even realizing it until your message. So why would I want to cancel it now? Hey, guess I don't feel so dumb afterall. Now, I'll just sell it to someone else for the price you've just mentioned. Way to go iFemale. *pats self on back*
P.S. - I felt really excited, again, as I teared apart my packaged mail. Woohoo!

Today I went to a uni tutorial, then got home. Now I should really work. As for you One-Way, everyone makes a fool of themselves someday...I do when I am stressed.
