WHEN IT comes time to do homework, most students have a desk for that purpose, along with reference books. It's interesting to note that the contents of nearly every desk reference for the average student can be found on-line. I used to buy spiral notebooks which had various measurement conversion tables on them. Their Java applet will convert almost anything into anything, instantly. YOU MAY graduate and leave school, but school never leaves you.
Wise people see life as a constant process of discovery and learning.
As for your old alma mater, every so often classmates traditionally organize reunions. In the Internet age, school chums aren't waiting for reunions to catch up on old times. They're staying in touch all the time. Case in point, last week I received an e-mail from my friend Omuso. It was the first correspondence we've had since high school.
