serena: omg
serena: the saga continues
serena: i asked my mom to print 2 copies of each essay
karen: zip file drama
serena: yes
serena: its no longer in a zip file though
serena: anyhow
serena: she calls me and says "i can only print one copy of each"
karen: where is she?
karen: at work?
serena: because she doesn't know how to change the paper in the photocopy machine
serena: and is afraid it will run out of paper
serena: !!!!
serena: yes
serena: i thought about telling her that she can print more than one copy at a time, but i figured it would only confuse her
serena: so i let it go
