A somewhat familiar scenario....

... This is sadly accurate, last year i survived the end with a mechanical pencil that was severely broken, yet i was oddly saddened when my mom made me throw it away

Are you kidding me!? Finding a pencil in the hallway is the greatest feat in school! When I realize I don't have a pencil, I feel like Elijah Wood going on an adventure in LOTR. Then the joy when you find one... Oh yes
