No more paper!!!!!!!

About a month ago I got a Tablet PC with the notion of using it for my online classes. So far its been great to read off of and write notes. All my class notes are in PDF so I use PDF annotator to add comments to it, just as I would a regular sheet of paper. By the end of this class it will save me time (not having to print everything out) and money (not having to buy ink) and I feel really good about not having to use any more paper. I also feel more organized with this system because all the PDFs are already named for me and I dont have to punch and bind all those papers. Why aren't more people doing this? Maybe all the teachers should provide students with the option of using electronic documents for handouts and assinments. Unorganized paper spreads across my desk like the plague!

What I'm doing with my life.

I have been exercising more recently. I am still riding my bicycle and walking my dog, but I have also started to take yoga and pilates classes at a nearby gym. What really makes this such a great deal is that my dad and mom are both doing it, so I am motivated to go as well. As far as food goes I haven't been eating very healthy food. Most of my meals are meat and potatoes with a side of ice cream. Cholesterol city. I tried to become a vegeterian about a year ago because of the health benefits and for the environmental benefits but fell of the wagon because my parents werent into it, and they usually cook dinner. Oh well.
