pbrayWent shopping for school supplies last night. It's been a while since I've done this, but I think I have the basics covered--a sturdy spiral bound notebook, folders for class handouts, highlighters and pens for taking notes. The textbook has already arrived due to the magic of internet ordering.
Last time I took a college level course, Amazon.com was in the process of being launched, and text books were things that you picked up at the campus bookstore. Mosaic was brand new, Internet Explorer didn't exist, and you did your internet searches via Gopher, not that you'd use anything you found on the internet for your class work.
Just as the world has changed, it will be interesting to see how much I've changed as a student. And how I compare to my fellow students, who will likely be a few years younger than I am.
Class starts Monday night, assuming it doesn't get canceled due to low enrollment.
