craftgrrlAt my high school, they always give us some crappy little handbook that we're supposed to write our homework assignments in and stuff. Well this year, they made it all red-white-and-blue and... just overly vomitful. I'm NOT patriotic. Sure, I love living here in America but... screw it. I don't even say the pledge. Besides, I NEVER use my handbook and neither does a lot of my friends. But we have to keep it cause if you don't have one, youo don't get a pass to go to the bathroom.
It's just a regular spiral little notebook... I'd say like 8 by 6ish. I cut out all the pages with boring crap in it. Left inside the stuff I'll need like pass pages and the map of the school and random math formulae pages. I was left with something about 12 pages thick. Now most of us have small purses that can hold a hairbrush tops, and i'm not carrying around an 8 by 6 book with 12 pages in it. So I folded the pages in half longwise, cut the front and back covers in half longwise. so now I have like an 8 by 3 book. I could probably even go as far as to cut it in half width wise as well, but this is fine enough for me.
The spiral is so that it's not really a spiral per se but you can pop the pages out easier. I popped out the covers out and since I have no paint I covered it in silver duct tape. I used a hole punch to re-do the holes and now I'll use like a sharpie to draw on it or put song lyrics or stickers. I love it now. My school does have a rule against defaming ur book (aka making it personal and your own... even though you BUY them and they're technically your property.) but they don't really enforce it too much and as long as it doesn't say a bunch of curse words or have a picture of like a student decapitating a teacher, they probably won't get too pissed.
Oh well. I know a lot of kids do this, but I thought I'd do a post. Hope this gave some people some ideas. :D
