College Tips from a Smallish Dragon: Note taking

I'm sick. yep.  Fever, runny nose, mucous making me cough... and an infection in my right ear to boot.  Classes have been so fun for me this week!  Tylenol has kept me alive.  For some reason, I'm actually better at calculus when I'm sick than I am when I'm not sick. ?: Go figure, right?  Now... if I could do the problems that were assigned instead of doing the wrong ones for the same chapter, that'd be great.
Anyway, I am upholding my standing tradition of drawing a goofy little cartoon while I'm sick and feeling like crap.  This pun... is so dumb.  but it amused me, so it'll do.
So... yep.  Little feathered dragon... going to college, sharing survival tips.  Here's the tip for today...

TOPIC: taking notes.
Note taking is essential to college survival.
Not only taking notes, but taking GOOD notes is very important (or so they have greatly overstressed in my Freshman Seminar class)...  So, make sure that you select quality notes to take.
Notes from a radio or speaker might be alright, but the best quality notes are found in the band hall during practice, or wherever a singing club might be meeting.  Be careful when going for the latter two though, as band directors and singers will not appreciate their notes being taken, so you'll have to be stealthy and quick.
Swoop and snatch.  The trick to cleanly taking the note of your choice without bending it or pulling others with it (which could damage your note) is to grasp it firmly at the very bottom of your swoop and jerk it smartly clockwise and up to snap it free of notes around it.
Follow through.  Finish the swoop by returning to the height you started from and moving quickly out of sight.

Does anyone have suggestions as to a name for this guy?  Something a little geeky, but not poindexter-geeky?
