Oh, so that's how YOU do it. Usually I write when I'm supposed to be
doing homework, or at school when I'm supposed to be doing newspaper
stuff (I'm the editor of our college's newspaper), or in class when I'm
supposed to be taking notes. How does the intrepid and generally pretty

all my notes on my laptop computer (well, it's not REALLY a computer,
more of a word processor with delusions of grandeur). No one can see at
an angle what I'm typing, and the teachers all think I'm busily hacking
away at my notes. I even get requests for printouts by other students,
because I type so damned much!

Of course, I only do this in my 'sleeper' classes (i.e. classes where
listening to the teacher drone is pretty much worthless ANYWAY).
