Glue stick(s)

Notebook: - A SPIRAL NOTEBOOK with
at least 100-200 pages (100 pages won't last the whole year, but is easier to
carry. Probably best to buy two of these smaller ones throughout the year,
rather than one huge, honkin' notebook to lug around!); make sure it comes
with pockets to put loose papers in.

A FlashDrive for saving/moving documents from home
to school. No more, "My printer went down...." Save on the drive, bring to
school, and print at school; as long as it's before class!. (256mb, 512mb, or
1gb: all can be found for under $15.00; a 2gb flashdrive costs between $16.00
and $20.00 They may also be rented from the library).
