<p>We are gonna ge along just fine Sucharita.
I have to buy a new geometry set before every contest or exam. I break every compass, ruler and pencil (that is harder though, but manageable). I counted about a dozen empty geometry set boxes in my closet(good thing they're cheap). Speaking of closets I also managed to break most of the knobs on the drawers in my room.</p>
<p>geometry boxes...hmm haven't used those for over 2 years. But yeah I've broken my share of rulers this year- usually by putting my stupid elbows on them, sitting on them blah blah blah...so I used the wooden ones for a while but they are a pain when youre drawing graphs so i went back to breaking the good old plastic ones :p
my bookcase has no knobs anymore. In fact the shelves used to have glass covers...dunno where theyve gone :p
As for the havoc I've wreaked in the Chemistry lab- well lets just say the lab assistant will NEVER forget me :D</p>
<p>ha that's nothing... just thank heavens you're not absent minded like i am. i've just had to break my savings on a new calculator because i lost the old one... for the second time! for last year's final exams, i forgot my pencil case... this morning, i went to play tennis without my racket...</p>
<p>axfr/axel, you're from france?! That's so unbelievably awesome. I was hoping there would be some native French people at Princeton (I'm not, but I'm most definitely a francophile).</p>
<p>Vive la France! And tennis too.</p>

<p>Haha, I'm a total schputz when it comes to chemicals and general science lab materials, too. I set a roll of paper towels on fire first semester and (unintentionally) welded with one of the tongs. So bad. Had I not dropped the class after winter break, I'm sure the whole school would've been burned down by now.</p>
<p>Oooh, I've been meaning to check out House. I kept reminding myself to, but then I checked out Grey's Anatomy and got hooked, so I ended up forgetting about it. How good is it?</p>
<p>And chocolate is love. So is Princeton. So I guess a chocolate Princeton would be mega-love. Suh-weet!</p>
<p>talking of calculators- (I've broken two of those too, thankfully they were the cheap scientific variety) will my TI 83+ be enough for any Math/Physics classes I take? I don't want to get a new one- I am calculatorially challenged :o...I still haven't figured out thios one yet :(</p>
<p>I like House...kinda like CSI meets ER, I find it really addicting...was anybody else into Project Runway? My friends and I were really into it while it was on</p>
