I’m spiraring down into mid-term hell

We had a conference call tonight with our professor, where we were put at ease over several homework problems and the pending mid-term. I must say that I’m damn tired of shelling out hundreds of dollars for graduate level text books and finding errors in them. “Oh, they forgot to update the answer key when they updated the edition.
