T9 - three two four five

As I browsed around on my shopping venture, I thought I might as well tally up the cost of stationary for the coming semester. At this point, I realised a few particulars.

1. I was that bored that I decided to waste time on something that I would spontaneously buy regardless of my nerdy shopping tactics. And thus disregard any savings that were possible.

2. I don’t really do any work during the semester anyway. In a particular workbook I might cover all of 30 pages or less.

3. Why the hell would I need a pocket in an A5 book? Like I mean in hindsight it could prove to be useful. But if the idea of folding the lecture notes into a small A5 sleeve and then realising that you cannot fit another set for the next week is useful, then indeed it does the job…

4. Do you actually re-read your lecture notes you write anyway? Like I mean, you write them and then end up reading your printed lecture notes or your textbook just before you’re exams anyway.

Does anyone share the same burden of buying books you will probably almost never use?
