Although some of t's notes are in simple bullet form, she clearly uses "mind mapping" - she'll have one little word or phrase in a circle connected to another word or phrase. I guess some people like that style of note taking but I can't really get into it.

T really, really likes taking notes. In fact, one time her pen died and she had to interrupt me to go into the other room to get a new one. This did not bother me at all (and she knows me well enough to trust that I would be fine with it)- in fact, I found it kind of endearing. Like I said, though, her memory is scary good so I don't' know why she relies notes so much.
