This is my cousin Talon. I didn't see him fall off the bed and this was sent to me. How awful looking - I had to share it.

My dad bought me a laptop a week ago and now I'm figuring out new ways to use it for school. I am a biology major at Humboldt State University; therefore, I don't write too many papers.
My father said the only reason he bought it for me is so that I could use it for school. I hope he knows that the main reason I'm excited about it is that so I can blog everyday now!

I felt guilty so I tried to figure out other ways to help me in my classes next semester: Chemistry, Calculus, and Physics. Thats is, help me other than looking up answers to my homework questions on the internet. I found another way. I like to read the chapters in my textbooks over and over until all the information gets stuck in my head. I actually don't like to do that, but repetition is what it takes for me. I find this technique mundane, hard (those fucking books weigh 30 pounds each), and time consuming; yet it has the best results.

So for my Physics and Chemistry books everytime I read a new chapter I will read into this new microphone I bought at Staples and record it into my laptop and burn it onto cd. I'm using Musicmatch Jukebox. I can now listen to myself (I love that because I'm an egomaniac), and learn at the same time. I can learn that crap when I'm running, riding the bus, or falling asleep without having to shlep all that shit around with me! Hoorah.

For Calc, I guess I have to stick with the basics: homework.
