Every class. All the points the professor made. Everything.\n\nOver reading week I\u2019d begun to get the feeling that maybe it was missing, but I couldn\u2019t be sure. I thought that maybe it was in a library, a lost and found bin, a friend\u2019s apartment, a box, a shelf, a purse, maybe even in the Window office at New College\u2026\n\nBut now I know that it\u2019s in none of those places.\n\nIt\u2019s gone and I miss it.\n\nIn class on Monday I turned to the boy beside me, the one who scribbled every word the professor said onto his papers. I looked at him and I asked, \u201cCan I photocopy your notes after class?\u201d\n\n\u201cNo.\u201d\n\nI don\u2019t really blame him, I guess. He was busy. He had other classes to go to.\n\nIt took me a while, but I went up to a mature student, a woman with grey curly hair who typed every word that dripped out of the Prof\u2019s mouth into her laptop.\n\nShe said yes and carefully wrote down my e-mail address.\n\nNow it\u2019s a couple of days later and I have notes for my class (her notes) and I hate to sound petulant but\u2026\n\nI miss my notebook.\n\nNothing is quite the same as my notes, because I write down what I think is important. I write short forms that I understand. I include things that are said in class that are interesting or funny or just weird as well as different ideas that come into my head. I don\u2019t want to sound like a newager, but my notebook is my impression of a course, it\u2019s what I get out of it.\n\nI feel like I lost more than just a couple sheets of lined paper, two sheets of cardboard and a metal coil.\n\n\u00a0\n\n-Heather","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\n<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nI had a little green notebook once and I loved it.
