I ordered my school books online the other
day, and I paid for ups 2nd day air
shipping. I paid xtrb/c I wanted to hurry
an get my books. And if ya'll have not
read this in my posts before, I hate
paying for anything that has something to
do with school (my mom should be doing
this). But anyway, it is so amazing to me
that 2nd day air shipping, takes 4 days to
be delivered, when the books were sent out
the same day I ordered. So I still won't
get them until the first day of class, and
I won't be here.

Yeah, those dang shipping things are crap.
When I lived in myrtle beach my mom
would "overnight" me things through the
post office and I would get them two weeks
later. Of course, I she wouldn't get her
money back. They say that those days are
just an estimate and they cannot control
how long it actually takes. what? Then
why do you pay 15.00 more to send
something overnight when it would have
gotten there faster if you sent it
regularly? Who knows.
Yeah, I got mine at the bookstore because
I don't trust mail. Also, my
mother/father don't pay for my school
stuff either. It is all part of being an
adult

Yea, that is what I mean. They won't give
me my money back. And I wish they would
say an "estimate", it said 2nd day air,
not estimate. I hate these suckers.
And the school thing gets me too. It
really gets me b/c I am 17. I started
college when I was 16, and I have to pay
for everthing. I think my mom wants me to
run through my saving account ,and my
trust, so that it'll will be all gone by
the time I have control of it. And I
think she has been spending my money.
I'll have to tell my daddy about this, she
has done it before. She claimed the money
was used for things I needed, but I don't
care.

That sux! Just like my mom using my
child support to fill her gas tank so she
can go see her bf in north carolina or for
other things. My dad wants her to give it
to me now to help out with kaelyn but she
complains when I ask her for some money, I
mean im looking for a job, nothings come
up and I need help! But I can totally
relate about that, if I had a trust it'd
be all gone!

Wow that sux. I havent had that happen
yet. I mean like when we bought christmas
gifts for joses family. We sent them
priority mail. Which was like 18 bucks,
and we sent it 5 days before christmas
(were always last minute) and they got it
in 2 days. Everyone was thinking it would
take alot longer considering it was
holidays.

I wish, they would get my books to me now.
I mean they're here. I wish I could go
and pick it up, but they claim that the
distribution centers don't have a phone.
And they are full of caca.

Well, I had to start buying my own school
clothes at 14. And if I ever wanted to
go anywhere or do anything I had to pay
for it. Kind of hard when you are 14 and
have no job! Even when I was 16 I
wanted my license. Well, I had to pay to
get it but I couldn't get to work without
it. So my mom says, "get a job" but she
won't take me to work, what? So,
needless to say that didn't work out too
well. I didn't get my license until I
was 18. I had moved out once when I was
14, they made me come back then I moved
out again when I was 17 and for good when
I was 18.
Anyway, point being it could be a heck of
a lot worse. I didn't have a trust or
savings to fall back on and had no way to
get to work plus
my friends, god bless their hearts, paid
for me everytime we went to like a movie
or something like that. I hated it and
it made me feel like scum so a lot of the
time I just didn't go anywhere, but they
usually made me. Now I don't let them
pay for anything everytime we go
somewhere! They get mad, but now they
know how it feels!
