wow some of you must have HUGE bags to carry all that stuff!

This is what I carry to school every day in my apple messenger bag (got it from the campus at cupertino. doesn't have a laptop sleeve but whatever):

- 15" MBP
- comp charger
- remote (doesn't ever work during presentations though! murphy's law I guess)
- couple pilot precise v5 pens (I'm very picky when it comes to pens)
- mechanical pencils
- TI-89 titanium
- some eyeliner, chapstick, and sometimes cover-up
- any schoolbooks I need
- black iPhone with earbuds
- sometimes my wallet (usually only when I go out with friends after school. otherwise, I don't bring money because people at my school beg off everyone all day for money to buy food. I don't like lying but I don't wanna give money to them either).
- pocketknife (squirt p4). not allowed to have it in school though so rarely take it out
- flash drive
- sometimes dvi adapters because lots of students have macs but school doesn't have adapters for the projectors we use in presentations, so I supply em
