As it is, I can’t count on needing less than an entire notebook per class per semester, and now that I’ve got five classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, carrying around five notebooks and the relevant textbooks for ten hours a day just isn’t feasible. I suppose I could also become that person who always has to share a textbook with someone else, but I hate that person.
