      I may just have to do the Amazon thing...cause two of my books are on backorder and I want them before the semester starts...I don't care how used they are...I just don't really understand the online renting thing just yet to be comfortable with it...maybe next semester? I heard you get a "giftcard" back when you return the books as well.

      You just order it like you would any other item from Amazon. But you have to ship it back on/by a certain date.

  3. about to start my first "theory" paper...::gulp::

      Nice! I may do the same for my thesis. We expect funding to come in for a project and I wouldn't mind using that project for my thesis :)

      Buttons! and items of personal adornment. I still come up with my analysis, but a majority of the collection was done because it was supposed to be part of another dissertation, but she never got around to including it. And I'll be working on the report and may get my name as an author for that. Double-win!

      startofdawn, I would highly recommend it! I mean, why not? You know? :)
