So, in the very near future, I'm going to need to be using a 'number 2 pencil' (no mechanical pencils allowed!!).
Does anyone, students aside, use these? That being said, do students use them for anything but tests? Pencils were once a staple of everyone's school supplies (and probably, once, work supplies) - is the pencil getting phased out?
All I know is this - when I read 'must have number 2 pencil (no mechanical pencils allowed)' I did a double-take. And, I had to go out and buy said pencils. And a sharper. And, I don't anticipate having to use them again any time soon.
Hmm. Your thoughts? Any pencil enthusiasts out there? Any pencil loyalists? Will it one day be gone? Will people miss it?

Thoughts on the LSAT:
Get an internship at a law firm for a year before you decide to take out $80,000 in loans for a $50,000 a year salary.
I thought you were asking opinions about number 2 pencils, not on the merits of taking the LSAT in order to go to law school. Last time I checked, taking the LSAT does not mean that you are automatically saddled with thousands of dollars in loans.
I also know that internships are few and far between. I believe the paid internship is now a myth.
Anyway, back on topic: I don't use pencils. I am not sure if they will go away completely. I actually prefer mechanical pencils to the sharpened kind. I used mechanical pencils starting in 7th grade and never looked back!
In the library, pencils are a hot commodity (as is to be expected with small children running around), but the thing I find most fascinating is that I have several coworkers who prefer to use no. 2 pencils (not mechanical, no pens) as their writing utensil. YIKES! I prefer the Bic round stick blue ink pencils (the ones that are white with a blue pen cap). Oooh yeah!
Also, as my uncle (who is a lawyer and is married to a lawyer) says - education is never a bad investment. It is an investment in yourself. This is especially true when you know yourself well enough to know that you work hard. If you are a slacker, then yeah - investing in yourself might not be a good idea, but I am 100% confident you could safely invest in yourself.
It is all up to what YOU want to do.
love you and good luck!
