haha welcome to university! Where price of books are almost as much as tuition (combined) and then then end up sitting unopened because the prof decides not to use them!

Wow 21 you made me LOL uncontrollably for like 5 minutes. My friends and other people at the mall are staring at me like I'm insane. IDK why that was so funny. FML =c Anyway the OP can probably carefully clean the ant off ^_^... Hopefully.

step 1-find a book or a similar object. step 2-drop that object on the ant. step 3-throw dead, mushed body away.

Finally, a good use for overly priced school books. I will follow your example someday.

I'm trying to ASK what she doesn't understand. The punctuation mark at the end of my comment clearly indicates a question not a statement.

That's nothing. I spent $170 for a chemistry book. When I went to sell it back, they offered me $5. I ended up just keeping it.
