When you go to open houses and scholarship talks and stuff, you receive a whole lot of freebies, the most useful being files, and then of course, pens.

I use these pens to do practice questions and exercises for common tests and stuff. And with this week being common test week, of course I use a lot of them. It is really quite shocking to see how some pens just die so easily or just don't work after awhile. Some of which come from big companies and prestigious local scholarship boards. Yes it's only a pen, but it's these little things that make you have a good impression of a company. Till now, the best pens I've used are still those from Best Western Hotel. Not that they offer a scholarship or that I would probably ever work there, but perhaps that'll be a good option for a hotel if I ever travel to the States. Of course, the hotel could be nothing like the pen, nevertheless, it has made an impression on me. A good one. Credit to their publicity department.

Also, it's not like a lousy pen would make me not want a scholarship - I'd take anything there is on the table! Just a thought on the significance of free pens.

And now back to work. Two to go. God please bless with me the optimum urgency at the start of papers so that I do not panic too much to the point that I will end up make careless mistakes, and on the other hand, and also don't work too slowly until I end up panicking when the clock runs down.

The same urgency that Fabregas and co. lacked over the last 4 premier league matches.
