I honestly use the Trinity network almost entirely for homework (including this assignment). Also, I never use my computer for personal things such as email and Facebook during class--I'm far too busy taking notes! Of course, I know that the preceding will elicit one of two responses: "yeah, right," or "what a nerd!" Well, I am telling the truth, so I guess that makes me a nerd. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that I have experienced the "Real World" (and employment without a college degree) for a number of years. There is simply no way I can take this opportunity for granted or not take it seriously. I am incredibly grateful that Trinity provides us with wireless internet access, and I can't imagine using it primarily as a source of entertainment.

"What a nerd!" I understand what you mean about the Real World. Trinity is a great second chance.
You should talk tp those kids who do nothing but facebook during lectures. They will surely get it from you!
It's ok to be a nerd, because I am too. I don't even bring my computer to class, because I know I will get distracted.
Really nice entry Jordan, and I liked your link. I don't bring my laptop to class because I'm one of those people who would get way too distracted with other websites... but I commend you for being able to use it just for class!
