Taking Class Notes with Wave

This is something new that I want to try starting this semester. The concept is as simple as the title describes. I basically start a wave in Google Wave (I guess I still feel that Google Wave has not hit the main stream; I see myself describing the term 'wave' as you see in this case) for each class note, 1 wave per day, then I would add all the classmates who have Wave account.
Concept is simple, it's adding the notion of collaboration in the class environment, especially in the note taking area. I strongly believe that two individuals' combined notes is more concrete and detailed than the one I write on my own, obviously. This is just very similar to the basic concept of Wikipedia, collaborative dictionary. One thing I would like to see on this Wave trial is the innovation. I wonder how the students are going to use all the functionality in Wave to maximize its capacity, for instance, embedding multimedia and using Wave apps.

It could be a just another small project that could go down the drain, but as long as I keep the note up to date, I don't see how this is going to derail. -> This sounds just like a concept of blogging. Update the content, provide value, and people will engage with you. Share

Back to School?

So I recently applied to get back to UT to finish what I had started back in 1997. With 4 major changes in 8 years of my college career, I wasn't able to finish the school before I got plucked away. What a lucky case..
So why am I going back? Beside the fact that there is a scholarship available for me, I have too much time in my hand as of now. I feel that I am most productive when my schedule is tight and when I am under pressure.
What am I studying this time? Sure, I really want to get into Advertising or Marketing, but the competition is little too high for my poorly managed GPA. If not... below are what I am considering. Garr.. I am more than what my GPA indicates!!!: (

1. Science Technology & Society.. ohhh.. this sounds pretty good too. Sounds like I will be playing more with Facebook.
2. Textile and Apparel- Retail Merchandising . where this come from..
3. Computer Science -..... i dont think so..

But most of all.. I can not wait to play some Intermural Basketball game!.. wahoo Share
