So far it looks promising. I’ll try to use it while I’m on the go.

Amazing!. I took a look at what it was offered and all I can say is wow. I need to start taking pictures. Maybe now I use include some kind of gallery for the blog

Its a portable scanner pen, the DocuPen. So far I have not used it as much. My plan is to use it next semester to try to reduce my paper consumption greatly. I also plan to take the winter break to scan books. This would mean no longer having to carry heavy books around.

Here is an image of it:

Twenty means I’ve been alive for 2 decades, but I means that I’m growing up, oh well. For my birthday I got the TI-Nspire, the newest calculator from Texas Instruments. My dad said he won’t give me my present until Saturday. I guess I’ll have to wait.

I first took my political science test 3 weeks ago and another one today. I did well on the first one than my second, but they will average out pretty good. The calculus 3 test wasn’t that bad but I made 2 mistakes that cost me a perfect score. Physics, well I got the average of the class, which just happens to be half the possible points. I was mad for a while because the one question I got wrong was half the test and it was over something that I didn’t focus that much on. Luckily the grade is calculated based on class average and not out of possible points. Lastly, I have my test for numerical methods. I actually find the class to be fun. Some of the material was tough to comprehend at first but once I reread my notes and looked at the book, its easy. I find it impressive people were able to find these methods so long ago. Oh well, hopefully I do good on my test on Saturday.

I’m not sure why, I guess cause I’m not the type of guy that is generally open. I do however do have a lot on my mind, so I guess I should blog that.

The main thing on my mind recently is my printer, so here is my story.

About 3 weeks ago, my printer completely stopped printing. It made the noise but it was just giving blank sheets of paper. I was saddened because I didn’t want to replace my printer yet again. I read a few places and found out that my print head might be clogged so I bought this anti-clogging solution. On Thursday I tried it out but it didn’t seem to work. Later on I did some more research and found out that maybe a hose might be lose. Yesterday I decided to open my printer, my how fun was that!

I had a whole bunch of ink in my hands and everywhere else. I used the clogging solution on it and after an hour or so I put it back together. Near the end I test printed a page and it finally worked. Hurray for me!

The bad part, however, is that I know how to buy new blank ink. I guess that in the process it ran out. Oh well better than getting a new printer.

Anyways, I’m going to try to blog more now about whatever I’m thinking. By the way, Windows Live Writer is pretty amazing.

It brought more independence that I did not previously had. It brought new people and friends. These friends, I hope will remain for the remaining college life for they are the best I have had.

While the classes are fun. I don’t yet feel that I have been challenged to my full potential. I was glad that I made the Dean’s List the first semester. I didn’t think that would happen the second semester with the way some people hyped up the hardness of classes such as Physics and Computers & Problem Solving. With very little surprise however, I managed to again (though not official yet since not all my grades are up but we all know I got an A) get in the Dean’s List. Hopefully this trend continues even when I finally start taking classes for my major.

Although I generally want summer to arrive during the school year, once it actually comes, I don’t know what to do. Now, it seems that will have to wait around 3 months before I start school and wish summer was here. How ironic.

Update: Here is the mouse, works marvelously.

I’m not sure why, I guess I’m to lazy to type something. I’ll try to do in a more regular basis.

Well what has happened to me:

  • Updated to a better host (more space and bandwidth)
  • Bought a palm pda (haven’t received yet)
  • Anxiously waiting for a copy of Vista to arrive
