Irritating Mechanical Pencil Leads

I have two Math subjects this trimester hence I need a pencil so that my notes would look orderly & tidy.

I could not seem to find where I put my mechanical pencil leads. I have already looked at places where I could have possibly kept it.

Have already gone to two different bookstores to buy pencil leads. The first one I bought was a 0.5 2B Faber-Castell 75 mm leads. I immediately tried it when I got home. It was so frustrating because the lead slipped all the way through my mechanical pencil. Its diameter was smaller than my mechanical pencil. Ngek!

The second time I bought, I asked first if they have a mechanical pencil similar to mine, so I could make it as a reference. After trying the lead at home, it also easily slided down. Another useless leads.

Guess I will just have to buy a new mechanical pencil instead.

I woke up 30 minutes past 5 in the morning. Was on the road after 1 & a half hours. It was too early for my 9AM class so I decided to pass by McDonald’s drive-thru. I ordered a 2-piece Hotcake Value Meal & coffee, then headed for school & ate it inside the car at the parking lot.

The car radio was on while I was enjoying my breakfast. I was tuned in to Magic 89.9’s controversial early morning show, Good Times, dj’ed by Mo Twister, Mojo Jojo, & Andi 9. It was my 1st time, although I have heard it before because of its immense popularity. I just realized how Mo can be so influential that he gets most of their listeners to take his side & how he can be so downright rude & cruel at times to his fellow dj’s on the show as well as to their listeners who calls in. I have to say Mojo never fails to amuse me…way to go Mojo!!!

Part of their discussion was regarding careless motorcyclists who take up the whole lane, act like they are the kings of the road, drive like crazy with a kid riding on the back, & who do not wear a helmet. I can relate. How I loathe driving with a motorcyclist around me! Every time that happens, I either overtake, slow down, or veer just to keep myself far from them. Gosh! They really can get on my nerves.

Still feel I lack shuteye even though I had a cat nap when I got home this afternoon.

Short on sleep twice in a row.
