I can't believe this is happening...
Mar. 8th, 2005 07:53 pmAlizah's don't buy used books with abused pages (crappy underlining, highlights, scribbles, etc)
Alizahs don't buy these books because she prefers a clean slate, she believes that to do such things to a book is blasphemy, graffiti, defacement.
Alizahs like to keep their textbooks because one day, she'll like to use them as reference.
Alizahs don't trust other people's markings. Alizah feels that her eye shouldn't unfairly be drawn to what someone else finds important.
When Alizahs make marks in books, or marks photocopies, she has a very special way of marking. She never underlines, she brackets the applicable paragraph. The exception is when there is a highlight available, and it's a quote, or a statistic, and it needs to be illuminated.
Alizahs, some may argue, are a little nuts. Some like that.
Today, Alizah cannot find a highlighter, and has 200 questions to find answers to in her Psychology textbook, about 50 listed at the end of each chapter. Alizah searched high and low and there was no highlighter found. She did find some old colored pens, most of which, she found out, didn't work due to lack of exercise.
Sadly, due to the type of questions she needs to study for her exam... it has become a necessity to mark up her textbook. She is marking it carefully, and sparingly so as not to detract from the bulk of the page, but to sufficiently call attention to the info.
Monster!
