    So you've finished your exams and want money to go out and have a good time. Parents can only give you so much money and you haven't been working cos you've been doing/studying for exams. The obvious thing to do is sell your books. Then you find out that all the courses have changed which means
    1. no money
    2. if you have to repeat you are in truth quite screwed
    They now dont take
    New explorations(apparently there's another new book)
    Geography books
    History books
    Irish books cos they're also changing the poems this year
    We really got screwed over!

    If anyone has the book of maths solutions I'd be glad to take it off their hands...

    It's really annoying, isn't it? My mother hates getting schoolbooks, so she said if I sell my own books then I can keep the money - this seems pretty lucrative alright, because I have two copies of most of my books (did this to save me carrying heavy books home whenever I had homework) and I have a lot of revision books as well - but they're probably not going to take most of them. Grrrr arrrgh
