paperthrift

so like i'm quite certain that printing out my lecture notes will help my study. but i'm not sure if i will use it fully. and thus wasting them, perhaps due to a bias which i have accumulated.

basically semester 1 last year i printed out all my lecture notes. and i found it a massive waste since for one subject i ended up rewriting them all. for another i don't think i even used them, i ended up reading them off from the comptuer. for another i just rereead them for the exam, i could've just read them off the computer. for the other one i took notes on them during calss, (because it was incomplete, but the dude ended up loading full copies, and i actually can't remember what i ended up doing lol.
and from that semester on i never printed out lecture notes again. coz at the end i just had a lot of paper. and it felt like i killed a lot of trees for no reason.

not only that, but my printer,or shoudl i say printers, theres got to be at least 5 at home, are all retarded. lol some are old and slow,k some aren't compatible with my laptop, some are new and lame, some are colour which i dare not touch coz the toner costs billions of dollars, some are connected to other computers and too heavy to move, and i cbf moving deliberately to print something, coz i can't make it a habit. some ran out of ink ! i.e. the one that i used to print my assignments out on, that was fair lames, that was my only usueable printer, even though it was constantly in a different room. and carrying was mass draining.

yeh it seems like a dam stupid reason.
like i though tpaper costs heaps, coz like its so white and all, and like it seems so rare and stuff. i dunno. like well peopl ealways talk about OMG trees! and i am just given this impression its a scarce resource etc. lol
so that also hinders my printing efforts
but then i find out its like 5 dollars for 500 shets
or someting and im just like hye thats pretty cheap.
but then my sister treats it like gold, and i cbf make her start her rants so i just leave it.
maybe thats a major reason why i don't print stuff.
lol

also i did try to prit out something the other night on the other printer, BUT I COULDN"T GET THE FUCKING PRINTER TO PRINT THE 6 slides int he correct fuckgin order. like it just woudln't fucking let the pages come out left to right top to bottom, or just starting from the fucking top left corner for that matter. i wasted like 15 sheets of paper in that one sitting and was lik zomg trees.

coz like its true being able to print out slides, plus my current motivation (my previous attitude to studying was far less than the current times) to learn and study off the slides etc., leads me to want to print them out so i can highlight them. lke highlighting is mad. coz last semester we got slides for free for a certain subject at like week 7 onwards, and i was like wow, its working really well. lol
i think that was the basis for my argument that slides are helpful.
(but they were free. so like . lol)

so after a long conditioning about the importance of paper plus my inability to be fucked to bring a printer into my room, in accordance with the general lack of toner, as well as the retarded functioning of the other printers, i am not going to print out slides, and potentially ruin my academic career, thus stabbing a hole in my professional career, and burning a bigger hole in my life, destroying it and forever ruining the possibility of revival. lols
