Don’t let my transcripts fool you; I was not that great a student. I was one of those who tuned the teacher out and doodled in the margins of my notebooks. It’s a bad habit that’s followed me out into the real world; whenever I’m in meetings at work, I find myself drawing little faces on my notepad.<\/p>\n

Over the years, I’ve saved some of my doodles because someone convinced me that I should, and sometimes when I clean out my folders and files, I end up pasting the bits and pieces onto a single piece of paper. In the years I wrote compulsively to my friend Janine, I sent those single pieces of paper to her, pages and pages of doodles that I thought might amuse her.<\/p>\n

Some of those pages found their way back to me when she returned some of my notebooks for my journal records. Well, while doing some unpacking over the weekend, I found a few of them and thought I should scan them and share.<\/p>\n

Warning:<\/b> they’re not that good. After all, they’re only doodles done during bored and furtive moments. I felt guilty about them for years until I visited the Dr. Seuss Collections<\/a> in the library of my alma mater, UCSD<\/a>. It turns out that he used to doodle in his math notebooks, too, which is kind of neat since he’s one of my heroes.<\/p>\n
