Its Friday and sunny here in Tacoma, WA. My pen just died (like the 20th one since I started this process) and something came to me. Do you guys use pens or pencils when studying? Silly question but hey Im in a silly mood. Pen? Pencil? Blue/red/black? Just wondering! Have a good weekend!

I HATE pencils…only use them when doing the MCQ's in the books, then use a pen if I got the answer wrong to write the correct answer. I am for sure a freak about pens/colors…I've been using purple in the Becker material. Then I use notepads to do all the homework questions, there I use black pens. Occasionally red when I've done something wrong and want it to stand out during review. I label and # all of my notepads. For AUD I think I had 4, but for FAR I think I was up to about 12. It's pretty amusing that we are discussing pens & pencils, we must be true accountants! lol

Pen to write notes, pencil on non-lined paper only for problems.

Also, I have to write with the same pen for each module, no matter what.

Pens all the way. Like Peanut, I hate the way pencils feel against paper. I don't mind mechanical pencils as much. I also much prefer black ink though I will tolerate blue.
