Textbook prep for college: Countdown to College

My first term in college consists of two textbooks and three classes. Classes are Network Essentials, Introduction to Computer Science, and Introduction to Operating Systems: Windows. Network Essentials had an optional textbook called CCENT/CCNA ICND1 100-105 by Wendell Odom that I got anyhow since I wanted to learn before class started and I saw the textbook said it was good for prepping for certification exams called CCNA and ICND1/2. My other classes that involved a textbook was Introduction to Computer Science and this textbook is called Computer Science Illuminate by Nell Dale & John Lewis. The books themselves comes with resources such as one book includes an access code and the other one comes with a CD (though unfortunately I wish my device had a CD rom area).

Backpack prep for college: Countdown to College

This week I thought I would finally finalize the packing of my backpack for college meaning what am I going to bring to classes since my class schedule is a full day Tuesdays and Thursdays (full day simply meaning 10 am to 6 pm for classes but then I do need to incorporate walking time into that as well so I will probably be leaving my home at 9:15 am and not returning till closer to 7 pm).

I knew what the basic stuff I was going to bring with me which would be college textbooks (more to come on them in a later post), a binder (which in this case means a 3 ring product that holds hole punched papers, divider paper, and even a binder pouch to hold pens/pencils), pens, and a waterbottle. But beyond that I had not thought of what else to bring until I started to go through my stuff that I had on hand and expanded it to include a whole lot more since I am a person that does like to be prepared for basically anything so bad weather, medical stuff, hungry pangs, sewing emergencies, and the such like.
