RAGE ABOUT THE FINNISH UNIVERSITY CUNTS.

okay. pardon me while I THROW A FIT.

we know that already these people have put me off for two months before they would even decide to tell me the dates of the english language exams, because their OWN error had classified me as a swedish-speaking native.

then they told me about two weeks ago when the exams were. at that time the lady said, quote, 'i will send you the books you need to study tomorrow.' 'tomorrow' would have been a monday, i think.

so while my parents were watching the mail for books to arrive... she emailed me a week and a half later with the *titles* of the books and the publication information. EXPECTING ME TO GET THEM MYSELF. almost a week AFTER she said she was sending them.

so i found this out YESTERDAY when i went to email her about where the hell the books were. so i went to look up the books today...

both of them are out of print.

you read that right.

OUT OF PRINT. from 1991. the only sources i can find for them are IN ENGLAND, and *used,* and apparently *don't even offer next day shipping* which means that it's not even POSSIBLE to get them on time anyway. this is may second. the exam is *the nineteenth.* i have to leave the sixteenth.

i don't know if i have EVER been this pissed off before. ever.

i am ready to commit MASS MURDER.

it's not an exam on english. it's an exam IN english. it's an exam for the department of economics and political science; one of the books is ECONOMICS (which i've never taken) and one is modern political theory.

Jesus Christ. I can't believe they're seriously making you take the test, let alone not sending you the study materials. I'm all righteously indignant on your behalf!

hah, yeah. i have been given to understand they don't actually teach econ in secondary school in finland though. wax thinks that most of the candidates won't have had it before.
