I like how she put waves under the title of "CHEAT SHEET"



Back in college, I can't ever recall creating a "Cheat Sheet" but I was amused watching this young woman work on her "homework" on the train last night.

The hell is a Cheat Sheet? And why does it need a title? And why does a title need so much drama?

What happened to writing on your hand?

Back in high school (and it would be awesome if she happened to read this site) I used to pay this girl, Guida, in Jamaican patties to let me copy math test answers off of her. We had the best beef patties at Loretto College.

It was totally worth the investment.

And you didn't ask her because ... ? For God's sake, woman, use those J-skills!!!

I had a couple of courses where we could bring in one sheet of notes. Either you know the information or you don't. Cramming it all onto a cheat sheet isn't going to help much. Some people spent their time trying to decipher their cheat sheet as they wrote so tiny and put so much on the page!

And yes *giggling* at the title on it! Doesn't she realize she wasted valuable real estate on the page!!?!?

Well Fred ... yes, unusual for me seeing as I will chat up just about anyone. I really wasn't feeling up to engaging her. I just wanted a quiet ride home after a long day (which I got).

Might not be literal cheating. I have something labelled 'cheat sheet' with keyboard shortcuts...

When I was going through engineering at Waterloo, we were allowed a "Cheat Sheet" and essentially it was all the formulas that were relevant for the test that you were taking. In fact, we even had "The Cheat T-shirt"-all the formulas were on the back of the shirt so the person behind you could read the formulas and they were upside down on the front of the shirt, so all you had to do was look down on your chest to read the formula. Of course you still had to know which formula to use for what question...

On a separate but related matter ... The young lady is left-handed, but does not use the "lefty-curl" as President Obama, Prince William, and so many others do. My wife is the first left-handed person I recall who exercised penmanship in the fashion pictured. Her parents insisted that if she had to write with her left hand, "she should use proper form". LOL

Um…. Isn't this an invasion of privacy. I don't think this blog should have entries like this? Was this person upsetting or disturbing you in anyway? Just saying….

CAN YOU SEE HER FACE OR READ PERSONAL INFORMATION ANYWHERE?

Yeah... so, um... no.
