The university announced last week that there will be a printing holiday that last till Saturday, Aug 27. I started being the kiasu guy and started printing off the syllabus, book notes and a few PP slides that some professor put on Blackboard. I was so happy because I do not need to use my own printer cartridge yet alone my own paper. As you know, university college love free stuff. Last week, there was this Orange Umbrella that university provided for its student in case of rain. As I was grabbing the umbrella, I thought to myself, how would the university know who returns it, unless they have a RFID tag attached. If you were going to ask, no, I did not steal some. I was going to, but then my moral values prevented me from doing so. I felt bad. Karma will eventually bite you.
Anyway, back to the main story. So everybody started to get involved into this free printing act. Some people was so inconsiderate that they started printing the book which created a long line. How inconsiderate! After the printing holiday was over, my professor decided to post the entire Power Point slide chapter from the book. Each chapter has 44 slides...13 chapter, 44 slides. Looks like I am going to spend a lot on printing this semester. And for my MIS class, there is also a lot of slides. I wished my professor posted them earlier so that I can utilize the free printing holiday.
Now, I wish I there is another printing holiday so that I can print my slides out. Sigh, I guess it won't happen for a long time. If only she posted them a day earlier, then I can save some trees or printing costs. Man, this really sucks.
Signing off,
