Then you need a really big kite. My dad has a 12-13' delta and when it flys his cares go up the string and he forgets his problems. Or so he says.

Use one of the other pieces of paper for a straightedge to at least guide your hand. Not as good as a ruler but you have something to aim for.

Funny, my Dad did not know what a scantron was either. Colleges love 'em nowadays.

I just wish the departments here would all get on the same boat. Some of the departments (mostly the sciences) provide them, and some dont. So if they don't tell you before test day, you have to go get some that you may not use...


They are scurge of the earth....

And, yes I could have gotten creative and done something that would look better, but the fact of the matter is, if the professor can't be bothered to reply to my email, I can't be bothered to make a pretty chart.

They are cheap though. We have to buy all of ours but some classes use them some don't. I bought like 24 just in case so I don't have to run out and get them. I keep them in my room though, not in my backpack.

Well, I just couldn't stand it. Went to NAPA, picked up front pads and rotors, and did a brake job on friends Acura. The inside pads on both sides were down to metal. A spacer had come free on the driver's side and was grinding a groove in the rotor hat. Only about 1/16" left before it cut the rotor off the hat!

I just don't understand people that can drive their cars to this condition!?!

Why red pen or crayon?

I was real lucky my first few years, my room mate had bought a **** boat load of them, and then didn't use them very much, so I was in constant supply, and then when he left he left them with me. I finally have had to buy more this year. I try to keep at least one in the front of all my textbooks that require them.

Had a chemistry professor that required all paperwork to be not only neat a clean, but color coded. Didn't have email you had to catch the guy in his office face to face.

It would piss off the professor who did not reply to the email.

They didn't take it. But ya I didn't have it on my person during the test. I'm not sure that a benji would have helped me any though. This guy seems like the type that gets off on failing students.

Scantron's have been around for a while, I used them back when I was in grade school. And I'm old.

Anyway, this should be a fun night. I took the night shift for some friends who had to camp out to get their kids in one of the magnet schools. To my right, there's a guy carrying on a conversation with his girlfriend with his cell phone on speaker, to my left is a couple who thought it would be neat to bring their 3 year old along (must be trying to get into preschool), in front of me is a lady complaining that someone took her spot and now her tent is on a slope; behind me is the gaggle of twits yapping in the parking lot. I forsee a nasty round of "STFU AND GO TO SLEEP" coming up soon.

You're a good man Rick. I remember getting a friends car to borrow once, noting that it didn'tstop so well. 3 calipers were frozen up on it, it was stopping the car with one corner only.

I think she owes me her life.
