    Awesome

    I got the Kindle Keyboard because the Touch isn't available up here yet either

    The Touch is a really nice device though. I charge mine once a month, load it with tons of books (and a few dozen songs!). Great for giving gifts later too. My parents bought me a leather case with a built in light that draws power from the Kindle which I love. And holy crap does it ever safe me a lot of money in books (even when I actually purchase them )

    Did you use it for text books? I am thinking about getting another one in the future because the text books are so much cheaper that way, but I am not sure I will use it like I do physical books where I can flip around sections as I am writing.

    I didn't no, I only got one this year. But if I were in school now I would to save money on textbooks too!

    Flipping around isn't too hard. You would get fast at it, and you can make notes too (you might actually like the Kindle Keyboard if that's what you'd be doing)

    fucking edits!

    Yeah I would want to use it like a regular text book. I would also want to load the pdf files of journal articles we have to read every week.

    btw... despite missing 4 weeks of school I made everything up and I think I pulled A's in both classes. I rock.

    I am going to be a mental health counselor, aka a therapist.

    That sounds like fun.. Do you want to be able to write prescriptions or will you just pre interview for the psych doctors?

    It's a separate process from the psychiatrists. Some states are looking at allowing therapists to write limited 'scripts but likely no, I'll just concentrate on therapy.

    A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four young mothers and their small children. "You all have obsessions," he observed.

    To the first mother he said, "You are obsessed with eating. You even named your daughter Candy."

    He turned to the second mom. "Your obsession is money. Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny."

    He turned to the third mom. "Your obsession is alcohol and your child's name is Brandy."

    At this point, the fourth mother got up, took her little boy by the hand and whispered, "Come on, Dick, let's go home."
