Who Needs Knives When I Have Worksheets?

i have been back to school for 7 days; 4 days of pre-planning, and 3 days of students. in that time, i have managed to give myself several thousand papercuts. seriously, i have 6 visible cuts that are healing/scarring, and several more that were tiny enough not to leave a mark. but don't let the size of the cut fool you, my friends - even the tiniest slice hurts like a BITCH. why do papercuts hurt so much? i have sliced my thumb open with a steak knife, and it didn't hurt this badly. oy. i may have to take to shuffling through worksheets and homework while wearing gloves... anyone who finds a stylish pair - let me know, would ya? apparently i need them.
