Desperate people do desperate things...and I was desperate for bookstands...I tried to find alternatives for them, but nothing was heavy enough. I went down to K-Mart but they were clean outta bookends. Anyway, I bet if they had it, I doubt I would have bought em anyway cause they'd be so expensive.

So you know what I did? =)

Heh heh. I stole bricks from school. I was DESperate....took two big heavy hunks of brick. So heavy...and it wasn't easy to carry back, and sneak into the boarding house unseen so I wouldn't get any awkward questions from anyone. Too bad for the house concerts people who used those bricks to hold down the backdrop while they were painting it. But they can spare me, the poor unprivileged boarder, some right? At least until the bookends I asked my mom to send over arrives. Along with a few books and my calculator and some stuff...

And when I finally managed to lug them into my room, my arms were aching and if I held a hand up it trembled like crap =) But I wasted no time in my operation. I shoved them under the table and got my pair of scissors and cellophane tape from the stationery box and darted under the table myself. Oh and with 4 pieces of pink paper. (I hate pink, which was why I used it. At first I picked green, but I thought, what a waste of good paper) Then I set out to wrap the bricks up. Sooo stupid right? Hahahah...so now my study table is beautifully nice and neat with two pink (ugh) brick bookends to hold up the books. Yay! Mission accomplished and problem solved.

Lesson: When you are short of things, you tend to become extremely resourceful. =P

By the way, there is NO RIGHT CLICK button on the eMac's mouse! How am I going to copy and paste stuff?!!
