I&#8217;m still feeling crummy tonight, but I soldiered on and went to class anyway.<\/p>\n<p>We have a conversation and composition exam on Thursday, and I need to get ready for that. I have to finish my &#8220;regrettable episode&#8221; essay for that, and I&#8217;m racking my brain to think of something suitably regrettable. I&#8217;ll look over some of my previous posts for fodder. <\/p>\n<p>I spent all evening trying to organize my in-class handouts, only to realize that it&#8217;s impossible with the tools that I have. We get these giant handouts that are the size of giant place mats, and they&#8217;re really difficult to wrangle.<\/p>\n<p>I have tried to cut them in two and stuff them into these &#8220;clear file&#8221; binder things, but while it works well for the JBPP handouts, it&#8217;s not really cutting it for the giant class handouts. The JBPP handouts are A4-sized, so it&#8217;s easier to fit them in.<\/p>\n<p>I took a look at what some of my classmates do for the general class stuff, and what I think what really need are binders and a hole punch. Trying to fit these giant printouts in a clear file is just not going to work unless I cut the handouts to ribbons.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, those cool erasable pens everyone&#8217;s using? Yeah, turns out the ink will vanish when exposed to high temperatures. Better not leave my notes on the car dashboard or anything like that.
