• Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
• Turn to page 56.
• Find the fifth sentence.
• Post that sentence along with these instructions on your LJ.
• Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

I'm now pantiless, so therefore I won't lose spirit and soak...

Or something like that. I still can't read much Japanese.

Assuming that sketchbooks don't count:
"You are asked by your audit supervisor to identify national colleges or universities that provide training or education in the internal audit or IT auditing area."
