What's this?

Emory & Henry College is nearing the end of the year for students.

My doctor is in Emory, VA and the building she's in is shared with the E&H Student Medical Clinic.

I had an appointment at 8:30AM yesterday and while I was in with the doc a student aide on the E&H side came in just griping up a storm.

She went to the E&H Bookstore for the infamous text book buyback "scheme" and got back $48 on $300 worth of books she bought at the beginning of the semester. The student was livid.

My doctor and I just looked at each other and laughed...the more things change the more they remain the same.
