Mid winter break!

So, last time I was on break, I wrote an incredible post about things I think about while on break. Here's part two:
I went to Staples to pick up some pencils for grading essays. The Ticonderoga's were on sale. Yippee. I purchased them, opened one of the boxes, sharpened all twelve, only to discover after grading three essays that the pencil had already gone dull. Dang-it. I bought 72 pencils that have soft lead.
