The plan for Winter semester

So here’s the plan for the next semester, sit in the front of the class to prevent distractions from those who site in the back. Well not really the front but more like 2nd or 3rd row. Take notes by hand not computer notes. I admit ever since I bought my first laptop this semester, it’s been difficult to pay attention since I can just go to facebook or hotmail whenever the lectures get real boring. But what I noticed that if I do write down my notes, I tend to pay more attention to the lecture no matter how boring the material is. Of course, I cant say the same thing if I did not have enough sleep the night before. Hence the French Vanilla / Hot chocolate that I would have to purchase 10 minutes before the class will have to do. Also, this would save ink cartridges since I wont have to print as many notes. Only print the necessary ones! :wink: Unless the lectures are basically copy-the-notes-in-the-white/black-board-otherwise-youre-screwed class, then I am writing down the notes in a loose leaf paper, from then on. I also noticed that I’m going to have 2 labs in the next semester, so that should be great since labs are great for extra marks! I did miss labs this semester. I wish we had them in courses like AI. That definitely would have boosted up the midterm. Speaking of which, I only have 2 exams left: AI and some other hard course. It’s exams like this that I wish it was multiple choice in AI. I really could use it. I have about 60+ definitions that I have to memorize by tonight in AI. :( I dont think my brain is big enough for that much information. :banghead:
