i am not a golf pencil

beside every computer in the University of Georgia's main library is box containing convenient little slips of paper for jotting down the titles, ISBN numbers and locations of everything the resourceful student needs to accomplish whatever task he/she has undertaken.

but no golf pencils.

now really, if you have enough foresight to bring a pencil with you to the library, would you somehow forget to bring paper to write on? i think not.

so here i am, having dug a sharpie out of the abyss that is my purse, writing down ISBN numbers that bleed through the slips of paper and onto the computer desk. that's what you get, stingy library, for denying me a stubby eraserless pencil.

Hear, hear. The lack of adequate writing materials in the UGA library has deprived the world of some first-rate scholarship (mine).

it's my own personal interpretation of your feet, becca. geez, be a little flexible. :)

maybe the pencil hoax is an intentional way to protect the academic world from our paradigm-shattering scholarship, which could have frightening repercussions if left unhampered...and it all hinges on our own inherent laziness.

The real question is, how much Lewis Carroll have -you- read?

You am not a consistent blogger, neither.
