First day of classes
January 7th, 2008 • chatter
I get to go back to school for the first time since late 2005 in a few hours and I’m not really looking forward to it. I’m more worried about where the hell I’m going to park without getting a ticket since I don’t have my parking decal yet or when I can get my books. Tonight’s class is Anthropology of Islam which will probably end up focusing more on African sects of Islam since that is the teacher’s doctoral specialty but overall it should be interesting.
I’m trying to get some things together to help with the new degree such as a digital voice recorder, since I suck at taking notes, and other supplies. I’m looking at getting an iPod for recording lectures but from what I can tell most of the older microphones either do not work with the new generation of iPods or they just had terrible performance. So I’m out on a lam for using something mainstream to record classes for now, as my Neuros HD 30G DAP decided to no longer work after a year of ownership (but not of use).
