Studying for Finals
Well, tomorrow is the last day of class before our dreaded finals. (Being in the Quarter system we are taking finals while everyone else is starting their first days of school.) I have finally found a great way to study.... away from the computer. At the kitchen table there is no instant messenger. There is no opportunity to check my email every ten minutes just in case a long lost friend decided to write. There are no sites to surf or even Yahoo crossword, (which happens to be my best internet time waster).
This study technique was discovered by accident, (during the long day our internet was down in our house). I managed to get through a record number of chapters that evening and it was easier focus.... GO FIGURE! Good thing I discovered this now. With 6 exams during the next seven days I will need all the help I can get.

study hard and don't do drugs. I was just checking the whistler blackcomb site and it sez that on the 26th of sept there's a comp going on where you can pay 20 bucks and do as many laps of some trail (maybe garbanzo) as you can. i did it 2 or 3 years ago and it was a lot of fun.
anyway, i'm looking forward to going. email me any more info, i hope you guys are still going.
good luck with school,
cheers,
lars

What if your computer is on your kitchen table. You are kind of screwed then.
