pencil woes part 2:
my wonderful friend lindy lent me one of aforementioned super-pencils. i fancy it was thanks to that that my qualifying exams got taken at all. someone should remind me to give it back. lest my affections become fixed where they do not belong, and he never sees the pointy creature again.
meanwhile, i found some ordinary, non-mechanical good ol' wooden pencils to use. but it's been so hot and humid recently (ahhhhh, boston weather .... ) that:
the wood has expanded and pushed the lead out! and snapped the rest.
perhaps it's time to return to the erasable pens of yore. yore --> 6th grade, somerville public schools, erasermate writing implements.
