I know what you mean.It also happens to me with my friends,but with a slight difference:I either nod sheeplishly or we end up arguing to the verge of tears/feel the urge to throw something at each other´s head.Well,maybe not,but I suppose you get the point.

I NEED to start studying/reading/whatever asap.I nearly fainted when I checked what one one of our teachers uploaded to his site.Pages and pages of God knows what.It´s not a joke: some partners printed everything and they got a Yellow Pages-like book.

As for my Literature books,some of them look nice,so there are no reasons for me to ditch them.

Now,let me borrow your manners and agree wholeheartedly with the description. I love the "lines of joy" thing.
