Random Gaming Thoughts

[Ack]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up. You write in the margins of your book? Please tell me this is not in books that others will be using. Do what you want with your personal collection, but please don't damage library books or text books you intend to trade in.

You think I do what? Why, that would be simply barbaric...

Trying very hard not to laugh out loud at that clip.

When I was in law school, smart students sought out books that were well-highlighted and had good notes in the margin. They cost significantly less than new books, and the highlighting and the notes would: (1) save you a lot of ink; and (2) give you some clues on the areas of examination. If you were really lucky, you would get a book directly from a more senior student at the top of his or her class.

In my experience the best students hang on to their books....

Funny though, when those notes turn out to be wrong (which does happen). And doing it to library books is a travesty, because then the library has to replace the book, incurring additional fees on already strapped budgets.

From time to time I've purchased a book with helpful marginalia or underlying, but they are few and far between.

Nope, "is" can be correct since I typed it as I was watching (srsly!).

100%, I'm telling you.

Still, you usually change to past tense when speaking of the dead.

(I know that was tongue-in-cheek, but still...still...)

So, in the words of the Dude, I'm not wrong...I'm just an asshole.

Law school is expensive enough. Saving on - or recouping the cost of - textbooks that cost more than gaming consoles is key to getting through it on a budget.

EDIT: I kept most of my college textbooks, BTW. New copies of those were a bit more reasonably priced, and the subject matter is generally far, far more interesting.
