Oh you're a nurse?? Nice.


Yeah who knows..maybe I *won't* use them...but I'd still like to have them around as a reference.

I don't like writing or highlighting. What I usually do is take a blank page, fold it in half and write notes on that. When I finish reading I write the page number read last on the notes paper.

Writing my name along with the date on the back of the book cover is enough for me. And even when I'm doing that I feel as if I shouldn't.

Oh, when borrowing books, reading other people's writings kind of gets in the way of the rhythm you have. Sometimes you find the dumbest of side comments. And you hate yourself afterwards for stopping to read stupidities that shouldn't be there. But then you have the good comments that make you want to ask for one more book from the same person to see what else s/he has to offer.

I don't like the folding of the pages. I get annoyed when I see people folding a whole side or a good group of pages. It damages the book, damn it! Watching students mistreat books was good entertainment during school years.

Get a bookmark, punk.



I just read it and keep the cover crease-free, although sometimes I don't like it when the spine crinkles.

why search through a textbook when you are working amongst very intelligent people, ask a doctor/nurse/specialist the question they are always willing to teach... and you will get a much better answer out of them then you would a book

p.s. ask the really hot doctors

LOL!!


Yeah I totally agree...I had some really good mentors my first year, and the staff at the hospital I was placed in were all very helpful. My best friend is also a nurse, and actually I used her for a paper I had to write...I got the only A in the class, hah!

I returned some of my school text books back at the end of the year in pristine condition, and still in their cellophane wrapper. My German teacher in particular was not too happy.

i treat books like shit. the last book i had (The Shining), i left in the car, and with the heat it all fell apart

...known from a videotape the two made when they met in March... in Dresdens home, Dresden amputated Gabriels penis and Dresden and Gabriel ate the penis together...Gabriel had insisted that Dresden bite his penis off; this did not work.. Dresden used a knife. When that knife turned out to be too blunt, Dresden used a sharper knife to slice the penis off. Gabriel apparently tried to eat his share of his own penis..but could not because it was too..."chewy". Dresden then sautéed the penis in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic.
