you may already do this but if not, my husband did it for his semester this time and i liked it so much, i did it for mine.

i created a new google ID (my main one is tied up with doula calendar stuff) and went to google calendar. i then created a "new calendar" for each of my classes this semester, each one with it's own color code.

using the syllabus from each class, i hand-typed the assignments per day into the calendar (this took a little time but not much, less than an hour total) per class, so the assignment for each class is in it's own color.

at a glance, i know what work i have to do for ALL classes on any given day.

i then was able to print it out and keep it in my main notebook that i use for taking notes and keeping up with things...right in the front.

hope this helps someone else stay organized. it was such a no-brainer but i never would have thought of it until i saw what he did. it's really very streamlined and easy to read. i'm all about making it easy...

I haven't been around much - is there a post where you talk about going back to school? What are you going for? :)
