The Random Yak

Look, Ma, A Meme!

Filed under: Frivol — Random Yak @ 11:00 am on June 21, 2007

Have to admit, memes are easy when you’re in the weeds. Inspiration is low, so I appreciate the opportunity to riff on someone else’s topic from time to time.

Today’s topic comes from “Booking Through Thursday” – a newly-discovered meme blog dedicated to Thursday book-related memes. As a bibliophile, I think I’m going to like this. The topic du jour: School Days, Golden Rule Days. The prompt:

    1. Do you have any old school books? Did you keep yours from college? Old textbooks from garage sales? Old workbooks from classes gone by?
    2. How about your old notes, exams, papers? Do you save them? Or have they long since gone to the great Locker-in-the-sky?

My responses:

1. Yes, in large quantities. I have books from law school (mostly filled with notes), books from college (completely filled with notes), and a number of books from high school (mostly literature, though far less filled with notes). I keep them primarily for the notes, though many of the books themselves areout of print (I’m not older than dirt, but I’m trying) and I can’t bear to give them up for fear I’d never find another copy.

As a related aside, I used to have several spiral notebooks filled with Chinese characters -practice notebooks from college days, whenI spent countless hours memorizing characters by writing them over, and over (and over, and over, and over…) again. I threw them away primarily for fear The Random Spouse would think we had a little Shining going on. (Statistically, 24% of you got the reference. I’d say more, but all work and no play makesJack a dull Yak.)

2. I celebrated high school graduation with two friends and a bonfire made entirely of Math, English and History notes. So no, no high school notes. I have no idea what happened to my college notes. Pack rat that I am, I had them neatly filed in packing boxes for a long time, but they must have fallen off a truck somewhere between the East Coast and the West (Chinese character practice books excepted). No great loss. Like all college students, I thought I knew much more than I actually should have claimed credit for.Law school notes were carefully saved until the day I learned I passed the California Bar Exam, at which pointI gleefully dumped most of them in the round file – understanding only too well that last year’s law, like last month’s computer upgrade,would probably be obsolete long before I found it helpful.

Any rate…that’s my meme for the day. Feel free to play along if you’d like. The more the merrier.
