Fall Semester Tool Kit
Filed under Stationery by Kim at 11:01 pm on Oct 03 2009
I didn’t have to do any back to school shopping to get these items as I seem to take back to school shopping to be a year round career. But this is what my “shopping” in my stash landed me for school tools for the Nutrition class I’m taking this fall.
Which, by the way, is “Fast Track”, so if I don’t hurry up and post this my semester will already be over… 10 hours of class each weekend for 4 weeks and done. Not so bad but makes my weekends more of a bummer than usual for a while. And in case you don’t read my twitter, my teacher comes off like the Kristen Wiig impression of Suze Orman. All exams are taken at the testing center and I can’t tell you how much this relieves my test anxiety.
Since it’s a short class I didn’t want to commit to a bound notebook, so I decided to take all my notes on a pad and stick ’em in a folder. This is kind of freeing, although I wished I’d had a pad with annotation ruling. (Like this Levenger or this Mead pad)
- One orange and one green Sharpie Pen
- Pilot Spotliter VW (two-ended!)
- Doane Paper
- Sasquatch 2-pocket Folder
- Carrying it all in a tote by Simbiosis by Julia
These tools combined give me everything I need to draw my eye to more important facts as I take notes. I know Doane paper was designed for engineering tasks, but I love graph paper for all kinds of purposes.
As of Monday I’m already halfway through the class anyways. Then I have a long break from academics for a while and I’ll have to actually write to penpals or something if I want to hand-write anything!
