I watched episode 64 of Travel in Chinese. This episode was about the food and and cultural differences in Shanghai compared to Beijing.
Articles:
There was an interesting article in the LA Times about the new Motorola Droid RAZR M, which is apparently the one phone that will be a big iPhone competitor. The phone has a big screen but no bulky frame and also a long-lasting battery. The battery life is something that's been missing from most smartphones in recent years so that'll give the Droid a major advantage over the iPhone. It also has NFC technology, which means users can share data by simply tapping the phones together, which is something the iPhone still doesn't have.
Internships:
I read about Dragon for Email for the Blackberry on nuance.com. It allows users to dictate emails on their Blackberry. Their messages get transcribed as they speak.
Philosophy:
I read about the primacy of existence in metaphysics. According to Francis Bacon, reality is absolute. It abides by certain principles and if one wants to change something about one's life, one must do so as reality dictates. If something doesn't exist in reality, one cannot use it to change something.

That's great. You didn't loose your head and took the time to write up a todo. Keepsho thsat up.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow, do that the first thing in the morning so that you have a game plan on what and how much you want to accomplish for the day. Also, try you best to assign estimated times to your tasks. In reality, it can go above or below your estimate. But it is a good idea not to lose control of your most valuable resource - time.
You should spend some time looking over your schedule and see weather you can add or subtract classes to make your quarter more optimal.
