Really? Wow, without Note Services life sure must be very inconvenient now. Back in the days it would be shipped directly to the school and the good people in the Note Service would hold it for you for whenever you wanted it.

Some of y'all should petition to start it up again.

They may hold one book. But if it is several definitely not. Petition won't help because it is legal issues school can't do anything about.

sheets
The auc orientation guide lists the dorm twin fitted sheet dimensions as 89"x39", but yet all of the extra long twin fitted sheets that i find are 80"x39". Do you think that AUC may have made a typo??

What kind of mustard do they have there? If I wanted to purchase underwear w/ the AUC logo on the right buttcheek, who should I contact at MEAS? What kind of phone should I buy? What are the advantages/disadvantages of Skype and Vonage? Do they sell can openers on the island or should I bring one from my own personal collection? Pets? Neighbors? aAaaAAAAHHHHhhhh!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHA I just joined ValueMD, and from what I've been reading, I thought preintermed posted this....

Anyway serious question, do most students have cell phones on AUC to stay in touch with each other? Anyway from Seattle? I'll be visiting some friends up there and would like to meet up with anyone interested.
