Okay, folks, I think I've found what we've (well, I've) been looking for (ta dah!):
a way that you can read the articles for this class (all your classes?) on your computer,
and annotate the electronic text, without having to print anything out.

These are the steps that worked for me:
1) download (the free) Adobe Reader X from http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html
2) open up one of the pdfs assigned for class reading
3) The Comment & Markup toolbar doesn’t appear by default, so either
select View > Comment > Annotations, or click the Comment button in the Task toolbar.
This will make both the highlighting and the sticky notes functions available, so go to town!
4) There are tutorials on how to use other features @
 http://cjasn.asnjournals.org/site/misc/annotating.pdf
but, for now, these functionalities are enough for me!
Have fun--

Hi everyone! I’m Sarah Macholdt, a junior English major at Bryn Mawr. The locations that I felt the most comfortable in on my walk through Bryn Mawr’s campus are as follows:

A)1. Morris Woods

2. The glass staircase in Dalton

3. English House I

4. Park Science 20

5. The Campus Center Parking Lot

B)I felt the most comfortable in Morris Woods, probably because I am generally happy whenever I am able to be outside. The outdoors always gives me a sense of calm and separateness from the cluttered, stressful, indoor world that I live in. I put the staircase in Dalton second on my list because it had a lot of natural lighting, and this always makes me feel more at ease. (This has something to do with the brain chemic serotonin, I think?) English House I was the next down my list because, as an English major, anywhere in English House holds a sense of comfort and sentimental value for me. Corny, I know, but I feel more comfortable in English House than say, the Park Science building which was next on my list. I felt the least comfortable in the Campus Center parking lot because it always seems to be hot, loud, and dangerous (I always think that I’m going to be taken down by a speeding car as I walk through that lot.)

C)The order in which I thought the plants were happiest:

1. Morris Woods

2. The Campus Center Parking Lot

3. The glass staircase in Dalton

4. Park Science 20

5. English House I

Hello EcoLit 313! My name is Emily, and I'm a senior at Bryn Mawr. I'm studying English and Education.

Hello! My name is Max Turer and I am a sophomore

a. Rank the five locations in order of where you felt happiest.
1.) Morris Woods
2.) The glass staircase in Dalton Hall
3.) English House 1
4.) Park Science 20
5.) Campus Center parking lot

Personal Rankings:

Hi, my name is Graham and I’m a sophomore who is an Environmental Science minor

1. From most happy to Least Happy:

1. Glass Stairway, Dalton Hall

2. Morris Woods

3. Campus Center Parking Lot

4. English House I

5. Park Science, Room 20

1. Things that inspired comfort:

• Presence of Bugs
• Temperature – Too Hot/Too cold
• Color Pallet
• Smells
• Humidity level
• Spaciousness

I think I was most comfortable in Dalton because it combined some of the best aspects of the indoor and outdoor world. I was able to view the outside world in a large class dome without being paranoid about bugs as I was in the woods. The temperature was perfect. In park, I was freezing, and in the C.C. parking lot I was burning up. But the large glass windows allowed plenty of sun in, keeping the indoor air-conditioning at bay.

However, what I think most appealed to me about my two favorite locations were their color pallets. In both Dalton Hall and the woods, the color pallet was simple- for Dalton, it was green and grey, while in the woods it was green, white and brown. In the other spaces, there were many different colors. I love colors, but the overabundance of colors in the classroom and in the parking lot was a little overwhelming after existing briefly in a space with only two or three colors represented. I was drawn to the reductive nature of color in my top two places.

Hey guys. Hopefully this is helpful but I just discovered that Colored Amazons is available as an Ebook through Ebrary. So, no paying!
