Grad-School-Ruled Notebook

Finally! Now if they'll just put it in a composition book for those of us no longer in school, but still taking notes.....

LOL

Firstly let me say I was totally hyped on the idea of closer lines (seriously!) so when I read this article I was pretty excited. It wasn't until I got to halfway through I thought to look at what paper it was from. Good laugh...I felt pretty stupid though taking it seriously!

I did the same thing..........and felt the same way.

Still think it's a good idea.

Also, I noticed this site's ruled paper has a setting for "Really Really Narrow (Grad School)", but I don't know how narrow that is. Mine is exactly as described in the article.

That had me going for a few minutes. I use a Levenger Stanley Desk Journal for a commonplace book. Its lines are 5.5mm. I consider this to be right on the edge of too small. If grad students need 3.55mm, I'm glad I didn't go! laugh.gif

That made me look for a posting date of 1 April. Then I saw the dadburn onion . . .

My custom paper is 2mm line spacing. But I write so ascenders are two lines high. miniscules are one line high and I skip one line between writing lines. (Basically I write on every third line as a baseline.

The lines are very fine and light... And it makes my writing more regular.
