• Students had about four weeks to prepare for college. They were free to do whatever they wanted and prepare themselves for the upcoming session. Daniel opted to take on some light work running supplies through the station sections. He wanted some credits that he didn’t need to get from his parents or part of his funded training. As for preparing, that was the basics. Every class he took needed a workbook tablet. Anything they needed for and all the work they did in the class was stored in the tablet. Professors could take a student’s tablet and up load it to the course computer server. They could then evaluate part or all of the students work with a push of a few buttons. Most waited until the last minute to go to the university store. There were plenty to go around but they were not always in the best of condition. Two weeks after his graduation, his mother had surprised him with a full set of tablets for the first session of classes, all brand new in box. Working in the supply center had a few advantages. She was there when the supplies for shipment came in. Daniel thought she just took them at first. He went on and on about how she could get in trouble of taking them. She let him rant and then gave him the mother stare that said he was being stupid. She had talked to several people and they told her that it would be better if he had newer tablets. They were faster and had more storage. They also had the best in security features, they couldn’t be hacked. She told him that they had been saving for this day and the university tech actually said that the newer tablets made their job easier. They didn’t even need to have the tablet there to set it up. They did it all over the comm line. She was pleased she got it done without asking for help.
