Time just passes. My emotions start to calm down. Logic has started to prevail in my mind as I gradually let go.
This sem to me a semester where I adopt the approach of seeking the answers to my endless questions or doubts in my mind. I will visit the library about once a week to clear my doubts pertaining to the assignment questions.
The laptop is also another tool that drives me the desire to pump in more knowledge into my brain. Things just cannot get into my brain if I just read the lecture notes. For me, I have to do something the hard way, like writing the summary for the entrie module. The laptop enables me to do that, with the goal of saving lots of paper. In addition, it makes my work a lot more neater. Just my biochemistry module alone, I have about 100 pages already.
Another advantage of laptop learning is that I can download lecture notes right away if I have forgotten about it. Without laptop learning, I will have to print the lecture notes one day before. If the lecturer has just posted the lecture notes on that day of the lecture, I will have nothing to refer to.
One last advantage of laptop learning is that past information can be archived. One can store a lot of things in the computer rather than keeping tons of paper at home which is more "space consuming." With the click of the mouse, the information that I have studied from past modules can be accessed quickly without the hassle of finding it since the computer has the search function.
So, thanks to my laptop which is always with me and pushes me to study. Though it is a non living thing, it is an essential tool for me, a mould that can shape my future and my perspective towards life.
