hahaha....only for those days (3 days b4 a final) when you get last minute notes, and you study at the dorms...and don't have time to run to the library to print out those notes...

and for the lame concept maps that we make in 10 minutes before lab every monday....

i actually draw up my concept map literally in lab. i take out my rapid review, and i draw a bunch of circles that seem to connect. this way i don't waste time outside doing stupid things for classes...

while we're at it...also bring a magnifying glass...to read the fine prints on the slide bc that's where the test questions are most likely to come from...the least emphasized points...also bring some imagination, bc you'll need a lot of it when they take down the path slides from lecture from sonic foundary and the handouts you get are put together by morons at the printing company...oh and also bring a translator... no explanation for this one...

A-freaking-men to that. Fighting the entire school for 1-5 functional available printers in the 15 minutes before your slides are due is not fun, particularly since half the library computers suddenly started developing conniption fits when they encounter a flash drive.

Oh, you'll need it for class too and for reading your lab slides when the printers run out of toner.

Yeah. What the hell is up with that? Takes 3 minutes to just get a word file off the damn flash drive. Oh, and then ufo.exe comes up on my laptop's virus scanner when I plug in at home?

Thank goodness for Lola. Petting her keeps my BP down.

I never printed out my slides. I brought my laptop and flash drive to lab and transferred my slides to my lab partners' computers via jump drive. I then just presented from powerpoint on my laptop. However, since class size has increased since I was a student in Grenada, printer may not be a bad idea, just a pain to bring down from home (by the way, make sure you bring enough ink).

No clue; it's really weird. Not sure why they can't update the labs a bit and keep the comps running; maybe buy a few more printers, keep the installation and drivers updated so we don't have to reinstall them every time we boot up, etc.

Awwww, Lola. That was her hanging outside the path lab right? She made it in for both days during our forensic cases, and the odd thing was the tutors didn't seem to mind much. Wonder if they made her turn in a concept map.

for those who bring a printer, where do you get paper from? Are they cheap in Grenada? Are you able to take a stack of paper from the printer when it is not running?
