I did forget one thing: I got a very rare compliment from my math professor today on my problem set he handed back. Here's a little background: So a few weeks ago I hastily finished a problem set just before class and forgot to staple it...so I wrote my name on both sheets and turned it in. I got a note back saying "Seriously, please staple this." So a week ago when I realized I was in the same situation and had no access to a stapler I thought quickly. I decided to engineer a sort of chinese-take-out-rice-box-tab-style attachment to hold my problem set together. Not only did it work brilliantly, but I got a complement for it on my problem set. These math professors never take the time to make comments, so this is particularly special.

To explain, I took my pencil and inscribed a small line where a staple should go, so as to weaken the paper and make a small slit. I then ripped a tab with enlarged sides out of the corner of the other piece of paper. I thought that once I inserted the tab into the slit, the enlarged corners would hold the two papers together brilliantly. It actually worked!
