Lead pencil crisis....

[meiloyn]

Okay, so I had to stop doing my homework because I was using a wooden pencil.

I had to use that pencil earlier today because I ran out of lead in my own pencil. I HATE WOODEN PENCILS. I don't like how you have to sharpen them every few minutes, as well as the way they feel in your hand. They are useless when you have to write numbers in fraction form. They come out too blurry to read.

Problem is, if my lead pencil runs out of lead, I can't use it (which keeps it in sight), therefore I eventually leave it behind on some desk by accident and lose it. (Also how I lose books half the size of the stack of books I carry around)

That was my last lead pencil, so now I'm really pissed.

Also, does anyone know a guess-free method to finding the square root of an unfamiliar number without having to use a calculator? I'm asking because if this guessing game keeps up, I'm going to fail the future test, or at least manage to answer 4 questions by the time class is over.
