<p>...pencil case/pencil pouch? </p>
<p>This is the first year that I've pretty much kept my pencil case as full as it was on the first day of school. Woo hoo! 2 months and going strong. I have yet to somehow lose all of my pens/pencils/highlighters. Its so satisfying to dig in through my lovely variety of writing utensils in class, unlike this time last year when I had to scrounge through the bottom of my backpack, looking for a chewed up, capless pen...</p>
<p>No way. I lose stuff constantly. But I always have my scissors and my permanent markers in my pencil pouch in my purse…</p>
<p>Get it together, SerenityJade, gosh. You gotta be about that full pencil pouch life.</p>
<p>No thanks. I go through pencils like crazy with how much I erase. I don’t throw them away because there’s no lead. I lose them because there is no eraser so I don’t remember I have it and then it falls out of my bag.</p>
<p>That’s what happens when you take Physics and Calculus with my teachers. But I swear, the Physics class is awesome because the teacher is Kenyan and it’s so hard to understand him. And we kinda get a kick out of asking him to speak Swahili.</p>
<p>Last week, I only had a pen, and my math teacher insists everyone write in pencil (work done in pen is a 0) so I had to borrow a pencil. I am forever leaving my pencils in class or forgetting them. After last year, when everyone always wanted to borrow one (and never give them back) I now never hand them out unless they`re good friends. Selfish, I know, but I gotta have every pencil I can get.</p>
<p>i keep a few pencils and a few pens in the backpack, and a pencil pouch for emergencies…hasn’t been opened yet</p>
<p>How dare you ask such a question? Pencil pouches must be in top condition 100% of the time!</p>
<p>I have two mechanical pencils in my pouch, five colored pens, five color highlighters, two regular pencils, and…thats it. I only write with one of the mechanical pencils. I religiously use it to death. My pens have colored pairs. Black and red are written together. Red and blue are written together. Pink and purple. Never pink and black…yada yada. Call me OCD, but all my pens must go the same way and my erasure is always erased on the same side.</p>
<p>I’m terrible with that. But I almost always have a pencil in my pocket.</p>
<p>People always end up taking pencils from me but I have a stash in my locker, so my pencil case is still nice/full of pencils!</p>
<p>I’ve never had one. I just kinda keep them in my pockets…lol</p>
<p>I always keep at least 3-5 pens with me - don’t really like pencils … but I’ve been better about carrying them this year!</p>
<p>Just one pen in my pocket</p>
<p>I seriously made a bet in the beginning of the year to use ONLY ONE PENCIL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SO far it’s managing. But I did lose it a few times… THANK GOODNESS I FOUND IT IN THE END</p>
<p>I’ve never really liked writing in pencil because it feels so rugged and coarse. I shouldn’t complain, though, considering all the pencils I use are borrowed/stolen…</p>
<p>My pencils usually stay at a pretty steady equilibrium. I lose them a lot but I’m fairly prone to borrowing pencils and then walking away with them. As for highlighters and pens, i keep those on lockdown.</p>
<p>My pencil case is in tip top condition as usual. I carry two mechanical pencils, one #2 pencil, two highlighters, four pens (purple, red, blue, black), a couple G2s for debate, and a Black Pearl eraser I would sell my firstborn for. I used to take notes in pencil, but I’ve switched to pen now.</p>
<p>When i had one it was always a mess, now i just keep 3 pencils, a pen, and a highlighter with me, makes life easier for me lol</p>
<p>I only have one pen. I keep it in the front pocket of my bag (standard JanSport) and today the second one ran out of ink, so I need to replace it.
I would probably have lost it by now under normal circumstances, but when the Student Council handed out these hot-pink rubber bracelets I stuck mine on the pen so I can always find it- it’s very handy (it’s glow-in-the-dark so I can always find it even in that deep-dark abyss that is my backpack).
My big question is how long it’s going to take before a steady silt of debris forms on the bottom of my backpack, so that when I clean it out for Passover it’s full of crushed popcorn kernels and wadded-up homework and mushed chewable multivitamin and all sorts of other delightful things.</p>
