Scratch paper

Before I catch a few ZzZz's during nappy-nap time, I have a few things to share about this morning's exam. It was Con Law...with the hippie professor. Most of us take our exams on a laptop, but some folks write in the Blue Books. Generally the professor will hand out extra Blue Books as scratch paper for those typing on the computer. Before handing out the exam, she made it a point to say that the people using laptops shouldn't be taking a full Blue Book to use as scratch paper. Instead we should rip out a few pages so that each Blue Book would accommodate 3-4 individuals. Silly me...I forgot that we're supposed to be hugging trees in our spare time. For me, that crap ranks right up there with global warming. The caveman survived the ice melting. I'm pretty sure 10 generations from now can handle a few extra puddles and a few extra degrees of heat. And even if global warming is such a big issue, I don't have any kids. What do I have to worry about? I'll be telling war stories with the man up above over a nice cup of Sake. What's next? Should we extend human rights to elephants and apes? If you're that worried about chopping down a few extra trees, then you're probably in the wrong profession. I suggest trying computer science. Then again, that may require too much electricity. I guess it's a lose-lose situation. The only thing that bothers me about the whole ordeal is that the exam consisted of one long hypothetical taking up 7 pages of paper. A smaller font, shorter hypo, and double-sided printing would have done the same trick as cutting back on the Blue Books.
