May 24th "If you're going to do sth, do sth smart"

 Rab taught us today about how we could use ISP on our macs in order to access sites that are only allowed in certain countries. This will make it efficient for us to download movies, pictures and music (of course for educational purposes only. haha)  However, I am such a wimp when it comes to these things. Although I do watch movies for free on shady sites, I've never actually downloaded them. This is probably just because I don't have enough information on what is legal and to what extent is illegal, so I hope to slowly understand the structure in order to get the most out of it all.

Next about recent events,,,
As written in the title, if we're going to do sth, we've got to do sth smart. We need to remember the fact that we are a minority and that the school board has the power over us.
If I can be honest here for a moment, I actually don't feel comfortable writing everything here. I guess I might be paranoid but I feel like the school board might be reading this blog...so I'm not going to write about my further thoughts. However I would like to repeat the fact that the school definitely is a business before they are a school. I guess that's just the reality of schools in Japan and the aftermath of a capitalist country. This materialistic society is creeping into our educational territory as well.

Evernote was very exciting. What sucks is that I cannot use it on my own macbook. Well technically no I can but it costs over 1000 yen. The thing about mac is that a lot of these amazing tools are already set and put into the price but anything additional is extremely expensive. I had to buy word for about 5000 yen,,,not very student friendly.
Thing is though, I can never hate mac because all of the advantages totally make up for the disappointing facts.
