Class Starts Monday

The first thing I'd advise to you, and myself, is get your supplies in order for class. 

          "School supplies" for college differ a lot from the lists we received in our past experiences in education. Aside from the more... costly supplies like books, electrons, and software- what you decide to do to learn is mostly up to you!

          A few of my friends (consequently, mostly future teachers) start off, and stay organized! They have all of these color-coded folders and sticky notes for days. They use the right color pen at the right time (red isn't used to draw little hearts on all my note cards?) and they can just -FLOP- out their notes at any moment's notice! They spend scheduled time on their time blocked schedule and study and get things done. They make good grades.

 Not every student is that type of student. You may not be that student. I am not that student, but we can try!

Ask yourself how you learn best? Is it writing it down? Making note cards?
I even have a friend who draws herself pictures, to better illustrate the point. 

           Personally, I normally learn best by applying and teaching the concepts to other students. This weekend I'm going to get a few nice notebooks and pens. If the paper is nice, I can't bring myself to write down things that aren't useful and productive. But that's just me. Everybody is different.
