Yo Whyville! As much as we don't want to admit it, it's almost time to be going *scary music plays* BACK TO SCHOOL!! Now, some of you are already crying just because I said that, but the rest are beginning to accept that it's time to head back to those red brick buildings. I'm going to give you a bit of advice about my experiences of going back to school.

First of all, I'll cover your back to school shopping. Most of the chain stores like Wal-Mart and Target, etc. have whole aisles devoted to this right now, and so I'll tell you some of the good stuff I found. First of all, for all you people getting into some of the more advanced math like algebra and trig, the little rinky-dink calculators aren't gonna cut it anymore. Therefore I'm going to suggest that you get a Texas Insturments Scientific Calculator. Fancy name, huh? And the calculator is just as fancy. Running for about $20, it's got a bunch of functions that are going to help with percents, probability, and regular ol' advanced problems. If only it were as easy to use as it is to describe, LoL. You will probably want to have the instruction book handy for the first few uses, because it's got enough buttons on there to run a space shuttle.

Second of all, there's the trapper. It's really important that you keep all your notes in order and not just shove random pieces of paper in there, so you should get some sort of separators. I did mine so that it was color coded for each period, and one for notes on clubs and sports, etc.

Also, you should get a backpack that (1) has enough room for all your junk, and (2) has all the special pockets that you want (I got one with a little pocket to keep my laptop in).

Well, that's about all for this time!
This is jango321, signing off to go find new songs, LOL
