Before I'm mocked, please remember that I was roughly 3 years out of undergrad when I started grad school this past August. Further remember that a few years, especially regarding internet technology, is a long time.

When I was an undergrad, one could go to the library and use Galileo to search online journals.

Today, I realized that I can do this through the school library's website using my student ID #. I can read any journal article that I want, sitting in my rec room for no cost. I'll be in heaven after I can get through the inference part of my Econometrics I final next Monday.

This is an extra embarrassing discovery for someone who has computer programming experience, yet didn't realize something as simple as this.
