College can take some time to get adjusted, but I'm confident that the more you get used to it, the better it'll get.
About books: Our bookstore would not have the books we needed in stock (it was usually expected) especially if the course was either relatively new or if the instructor decided to use a different text. SO, you have some options:
1) If it's a course (like a prerequisite) that was previously offered, you could put up a sign advertising your need for that book in dorms and the student union and buy it used. One thing that college students always need is CASH.
2) If not, let your instructor know that the book is not in yet. They're usually pretty understanding and will extend the deadlines based on your info.
3)Partner up with a classmate that has the book.
As for the job --- hey, consider yourself verrrrry lucky. You could be working in the student union/ cafeteria! There is nothing nastier than having to see how what you may have to eat later is prepared!!! (Trust me, I've been there --- some things are better left unknown).
Have a great year!
