#2 Pencil? I Feel Like I'm Back in Third Grade

Posted by Poet on September 14, 2006, at 8:56:09

Okay, as most of you know I am a bit odd. I hate pencils other than the very fine lead mechanical kind. Much to my horror a test required a #2 pencil because you had to fill in those little tiny boxes so it could be scanned into a computer for grading.
Along with many others in the class I borrowed one from the instructor. I hate used things, too. At least it didn't have chew marks on it or I would have needed rubber gloves to touch it.
At least it was an open book test so I didn't have to panic that I was going to fail. Now, of course, I'm just worried I checked all the wrong boxes even though I looked it over three times.
Henceforth I will be armed with my own my own #2 pencil with easter baskets on it. It was either that one or the one with spiders on it and I am afraid of spiders. My husband just rolled his eyes at my pencil dilema. Some people just don't get it.
