:wavey: Your school books

Published

Will you be carrying them from class to class the "old fashioned way" or do you have a book bag, etc?

one woman in my class uses one of those small suitcase/luggage bags with the wheels and the plastic handle that you can push in or pull out.

she is definately the smartest person in our class, as carrying around our 20 pound anatamy book in my saddle bag actually made me throw my back out a few weeks ago.

ouch! i hope your back is better..be careful!

Yeah, it's all right now. It took about 4 days for it to feel better though.

I am definately getting a back pack. Having all that weight on one side of my body (with the saddle bag) really threw me out of wack!

OH man. When I saw all the books I would need the first semester, I invested in the rolling book bag. I loved it! No back strain at all. Now going into my last year, the instructor has specifically said, "Don't bring your book". I will be carrying my bag w/ my syllabus and mini computer for notes.

Yep she said no books. She hated seeing people highlight and not listen to her lectures. Kinda scary for me because I'm a visual learner. I'm hoping I can type as fast as I would highlight.

Have any of you had one of those teachers that said "Make sure you bring your book to class every time" and then you never used it?

Maybe I should send my chiropractor bill to my A&P Teacher.

I had surgery on August 12 I think last year and started school on the 19th......I bought a rolling backpack because I could not carry all my books around....I wasn't moving so fast for a week or so(lap,D&C, removed 2 cysts off fallopian tubes) and I felt like my insides were falling out......I love my rolling bag though and wouldn't trade it......

I have used one of the rolling ones mostly. I liked it, but when I only had 2 books to carry, I just used a regular ol backpack...

I change backpacks almost as much as.....well.....um...other stuff!
