Found in December in the Organic Chemistry section of the IB Green & Damji Chemistry Textbook.
I relate to you, somehow. I wonder who you are, how you were, and where you are now.
QOTW: What have you found written or tucked away in books that you’ve picked up? Now I know why people like the PostSecret experience!

Yeah, I’ve found odd things in old textbooks I’ve used. Some have been weird sticky notes and others have been phone numbers, lol.
Haha, that’s awesome! I don’t recall ever having found anything quite like that in an old textbook, sadly.
Nothing as big as that.
Last year I found a playing card in the back of my physics textbook.
And there was a flattened, empty pack of Juicyfruit gum in my math book a few years ago.
I found phone numbers, drawings, confession notes, chewing gum wrappers and poems lol My school textbook has been passed around for ages!
I hardly ever come across anything interesting — it’s mostly just notes, worksheets, and scribbles. One time I did find $5, though!
I found a note in my geometry textbook awhile back expressing the student’s hate for math. And the teacher.
There was also one occasion in which I found a note expressing a student’s sexual attraction to a teacher. Erm, it was embarassing to find as I was 11 or 12 and somewhat immature still.
The only thing I’ve found that I’d forgotten about was lots of letters from penpals and from my grandad when we used to write to eachother. It’s a nice feeling to find those again and to read over them, remembering everything going on at the time. :yummy:
Aw, that was touching little poem!
How wicked that you discovered it in your textbook, lol. I’d like to come across such a thing!
*******that was A touching little poem
oops, hahahaha.
Ah, that was interesting.
I don’t really find such things in my old textbooks.
I’ve never really found anything that interesting sadly
All I seem to come by is either someone’s name, or blank loves blank
I’m usually the one leaving messages and such for the next generation! Like, if I figure out a better way to explain something, I will just write it in. I hope it’s helped someone.
What an interesting poem! I don’t really get to use those kind of old textbooks… I buy new books every year… :dead:
And even if I do buy second hand, the school kind of makes sure nothing’s written on them. (They make you rub out pencil, but highlighting is okay.)
Sometimes I find stuff on library books, though. Although they’re just definitions of words in the books. :\
