Two things:
1) I'm getting a new cell phone/provider. It's basically like I'm getting a phone for the first time, except that I can get a $150 discount from Sprint because I was a customer for a long time before I went abroad. Should I go all out and get a Blackberry (or equivalent)? I'm getting the impression that med students/residents LOVE their PDAs and can't live without them, and that they are slowly replacing the drug pocket guides, so should I kill two birds with one stone here? I'm a pencil-and-paper kinda girl (love my dayplanner), but if I can cut down on the things I'm carrying around, that might also be a good thing. But then again I don't want to spend ridiculous money on a phone/look like a tool while holding something the size of a small country to my head.
2) Do people actually bring their laptops to class and take notes on them? I secretly made fun of the few people that did that in college (it was always in history classes for some reason), but I don't want this to be a Legally Blonde situation where everyone is sitting there taking notes on their laptops and I have my heart-shaped notebook and fluffy pink pen. What's the deal with that?
