The Monthly [In]Sanity Check - September 2003

Cover Article

It was great, these past few months. Freedom and time abounding, time to spend with friends, work on the computer, watch TV, and play sports in.

What am I talking about? Summer vacation, of course.

So, as we head back to school, we worry about differences in classes, changes of teachers, changes of friends, and who to sit with at lunch.

Well, I do, at least.

So, I bring you some different back to school related things to enjoy! :D

One of the best sites that I have found for school articles and help is Jellybean Magazine... yeah, I know, I mention this site quite a bit, but that's because it's good... they have a study section, as well as all sorts of articles about fashion and advice. Squee.

A good way to organize your thoughts is to keep a blog, or online journal... two good places to get 'em are Diaryland and Xanga.

If you need info for a report, Google is one of the best resources around... here are some search tips:
Anything surrounded by quotations ("these things") is searched for in that order, so if you search for "Adrienne Wolter", you find me. Lol.
If you have words that, instead of being spaced, have addition signs in between each word (like+this), the results will have both words in them somewhere (but not necessarily in that order).
Searching in lowercase finds more results than searching in uppercase or with some words capitalized.
You can combine these too.
So, to sum it up, if you are writing a report on the cotton gin, a good search term would be "eli whitney"+"cotton gin".

Also for a report, if you need pictures, Corbis is one of the best resources you can get.
