wastage

i was doing the drama evaluation sheet and got stuck on this question: What were some of the strengths of your group's performance? Here's the confusing part; do i answer truthfully and leave it blank (or alternatively write 'no strengths'/'nil'/'zero'/'fairly insignificant'/'non-existent'/'zilch'/'3 out of the 4 actors were good') in the vast blank space provided which could mean lost of marks OR lie to a small degree with phrases like 'movement of props at lightning speed', brilliant portrayal of invented chararacters, 'compelling storyline', 'hauntingly fixating-almost-too-realistic acting', 'highly complex and profound screenplay', etc. ? rhetorical question.

went to the library just to check out certain books. ok, so spent approx. 1 hour just searching for TWO books because of the complicated process of retrieving a book in the so-called organized library which comprises: search catalogue, identify map, going to place circled in map, forget the book code, search catalogue again, identify map, realise place is on another floor, navigate way through shelves like crazy-pacman (while muttering things like 328, 327, no, no where's 302? 320, 319, goddamnit, Where Is It?) finally get to the desired shelf, scrutinize whole bulks of books, it goes on. after deciding on borrowing the books, went to the loans desk and then had this gut feeling to check my wallet because somehow i doubted my student card would be in there. sure enough, wasn't there which meant i couldn't borrow the books. luckily i checked well before the guy had scanned the books but still..
ScanGuy: yes, next? (referring to me)
me: ah? uh, no, no..no..(retreat)

so frustrating, waste of time. this is exactly like the the time i forgot to bring my wallet to safeway after atleast an hour of careful shopping--comparing prices, making analytical judgments on chosen items, inquiring self with "do you NEED it? or do you WANT it? questions. again, something told me i didn't have my wallet just as the person in front me was paying for her things at the cashier, and then when i checked--wasn't there.
SafewayLady: (yes, next? sort of look)
me: ah? uh (clears throat) oh uh..didnt bring my wallet
SLady: huh?
me: (clears throat) uh emm i'll just uh mm (clears throat)..Didnt Bring my wallet..money..i'll...just take this..back (fumble, fumble)
SLady: u can just bring everything to that service counter there.
me; oh? uh..ahh ya ya. yes. uhh thanks (clears throat)

embarassing.
