So, hang out with others and take pictures. More instructions to follow.
Also, 18 classes left.

New sponsor...
Look to the right. Do it quickly.
See the Amazon banner? Have any desire to hook a brother up? I'm poor. (Note the site's title.)
Amazon is now my sponsor. I'm not terrifficly famous or anything, but I'm now an Amazon associate. I'll try to keep the list on the right updated with whatever our textbooks are for the quarter, plus some other handy/fun stuff for enterprising students.
Here's the deal: If you click on the banner and buy anything from Amazon, (either stuff I advertise, or stuff you just want,) I get a commission, at no cost to you.
Chances are you'll be using my notes, and while you're here, feel free to peruse my list of useful school supplies. I put a Livescribe pen in there. If you'd like to be more high tech than me, get that. (For those of you who both record lectures, and write down notes, nothing can beat that. It's crazy how well it works.)
Also, enjoy the rest of your break. I did awesome in class this quarter, which is unusual, (I almost called the site The Poor Student,) and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks.

Some stuff...
I'm in Barnes & Noble and doing okay. I just bought some more Moleskine journals. I like them in a weird way.
Good news: I got a B in my class!
Other news: If you're in critical care, bring your book to class tomorrow. Just trust me. Do it.
Have lots of safe fun during the break,
Michael

Good luck on finals...
Finals week is technically next week, but my finals are both this week so I'm shouting out now.
Consider yourselves shouted upon.
Looking at how short this message is, I feel like I should talk about something personal or something. Uhm, here's some stuff that may appeal to you.
I saw two concerts last week. I did the cheap thing and paid $10 to see Among the Oak & Ash and it was off the chain. I should mention that Josh Joplin, (1/2 the band,) is my favorite musical artist alive so my view might be slightly skewed.
The next night I saw Jane's Addiction. It cost $48. Andy Rourke, (bassist of The Smiths,) opened by playing iTunes for 1-1/2 hours on a red laptop. I honestly thought it was some kind of sound check or something until we looked him up on my iPhone and realized the guy on stage looked like the guy in the Wikipedia article.
Jane's Addiction was okay. Perry Ferrell talked between every other song and he reminded me of that friend you have who either gets high all the time, or you think his/her parents did a lot of drugs while he/she was en utero. I wish I remembered the exact quote, but apparently Perry has lots of friends in Ohio who are Jewish and pray to the moon.
Maybe it makes sense if you're high.
In the news, (students should follow the news, I don't have any evidence to back this up though unless you're a poli-sci major,) Republicans are being douche bags, Democrats are wasting your money, and nobody is really getting that I'd rather just be left alone.
Education-wise, you can get a free iPod Touch with a new Apple computer. The white MacBook is under $1,000. Here's the link to the education discount page.
Finally, Rose died.
So, go out there and be good students. Good luck on finals. I hope I was at least interesting,
Michael

Wikipedia...
I always get looks when I tell people I look at Wikipedia for information. It's actually okay to find out information from Wikipedia. You shouldn't use it as a source because of one obvious rule of research:
You don't use encyclopedias for research if you're a grown up. It's perfectly accetpable in middle school, but as a grown up, you don't do reseach in any encyclopedia.
A lot of people have issues with accuracy on Wikipedia. These people are crazy. It's about as accurate as the Encyclopedia Britannica. (If you read the link, you'll see it's more accurate.) You still should be aware that character attacks show up on wikipedia all the time, but they're pretty obvious.
Many people take issues that Wikipedia is done by amateurs. Would you believe that amateurs have done research on protein folding and contributed to astronomy? Amateurs, (according to the definition,) do what they do out of love not for money. (WARNING: MAJOR SUPPOSITION APPROACHING) No money=no bias.
Anyway, that's a person peeve that's been bugging me for about two years I thought I'd get off my chest. Go back to studying and being good students. Do the poll on the right or leave an inflammatory comment below.

Looking for ideas...
Although I have a great idea of how much traffic I get to this site, (more than 10,000 hits in two years. Not terrible for a small blog with a very limited audience;) I'm not sure how many of you actually read the articles I post, or if you're just here for my notes.
So, I'm putting a poll up and I'm asking for a favor. If you read the articles, post a comment below if you'd like me to talk about anything specific. If you'd like me to shut up and concentrate on taking better notes, you can leave that as a comment too.
If you're looking for ideas to give me, I'm wicked organized, (or try to be,) and full of myself so if you're looking for a way to organize some aspect of your life, send me a thing and I'll give you a full of myself version of how I'd do it. I can probably send you some free technology that'll fix whatever problem you're having too.
I'm off to bed because I've got a wicked headache and I need to wake up early tomorrow.
Stay bamboocha,
Michael

Discount bags...
People often say to me, "Michael, that's a very nice bag you've got there. I bet you could be thrown from a moving car with that bag on your bag and it would sustain very little damage."
To that I reply, "Yes! Most of the impact would be absorbed by my tender face."
The other person almost immediately asks, "Where may I find such a bag."
Well, it's a Timbuk2 bag and it's not cheap. However, until June 3, they're having a huge sale. Here's the link to their page. Check back every day because the deal changes daily.
