Australian Textbooks

It is the first week of classes. This is the time where everyone gathers at the monash notice boards to check out for cheap 2nd hand textbooks. Never would i've thought that rich students in monash would trouble themselves by bargaining their ass off on the 2nd hand books. With so many buyers out there, i can hardly find a book that matches my budget. How i wish i am a rich kid who gets to walk in the bookstore and get 1st hand books. There are somethings i just hate about Australian textbooks ....

Notices like this really piss me off big time :
" Law in Commerce, 2nd edition, Brendon & Jennifer, rm270 "

RM270 !!?!? YOU THINK YOU ARE SELLING YOUR BUTT TO ME AR ?!? You know, sometimes its really pain in the ass, having to pay for all these overpriced books. Blardy aussie authors, they really think they are some kind of Stephen Hawkings or Albert Einstein, writing books that are revealing scientific breakthroughs. Please la .... you guys are just writing simple essays and drawing simple diagrams to aid some retarded weak students like me. You guys ain't cracking your brains for 20 years to find out what is E=mc². SO WILL YOU PLEASE LOWER THE PRICE OF YOUR BOOKS !!

Look at his hair. Are you trying to tell me that you, aussie authors, used up more brain juice than him ?!?!

Another thing I'm very annoyed with australian textbooks is that they are Super-Duper-Ultra-Freaking-Bitching Long Winded.

Take a look at this sentence found in my law book :

"Whenever a person gives information or advice to another upon a serious matter in circumstances where the speaker realises, or ought to realise, that he is being trusted to give the best of his information or advice as a basis for action on the part of the other party and it is reasonable in the circumstances for the other party to act on the information or advice, the speaker comes under a duty to exercise reasonable care in the provision of the information or advice he chooses to give."

What in the name of Kennysia is he trying to explain man .... seriously arggh !! Can't it be written in a shorter sentence like this :

"Whenever a person gives information or advice to another upon a serious matter, he or she ought to expect that his or her advice is being relied and acted on, therefore, the speaker should come under a duty to exercise reasonable care to in the provision of advice or information."

Sometimes i wonder why my so many of my friends study in Australia .......
