None of the above.

I normally carry a cloth shoulder bag that, if it were larger and vinyl-reinforced, would be described as a sports bag in Britain. Sometimes I carry an A2 size case for when I need to bring large picture books or other large documents that shouldn't be folded..

In it I carry my umbrella, Chinese-English dictionary, notebook, two pairs of glasses, bottle of water, various paperwork, small towel, toilet paper, makeup, sunscreen, insect repellent, handcream, headache pills, book, hairbrush, mp3, USB memory stick, (leave the laptop at home), some fruit, coffee bags, plastic tea jar.

In the past I've tried using snazzy-looking fabric "briefcases" or satchels but they just never last long enough and there's never enough room for lunches and stuff.
So after the last one wore out I just decided to give up on the "professional" look and go back to the good old backpack. Inside the backpack is the paper organizer that protects all the papers books and casettes and keeps them all together. Then inside I have about 3-4 little fabric "cases" with zips that good old mom sent me. Really handy. I have another 5 at home.
So in one little case I have my "important papers", bank cads and credit cards.
In another little case I have my cd player and cds.
In another little case I have bencils, pens, erasers, sharpeners and everything else.
If I go overnight I just throw in my "toilet kit" with toothbrush, soap and stuff.

It's the best arrangement I've found. A backpack with many smaller little "goodie bags" inside.

I have no idea where my mother got them from.

I use a briefcase myself in an effort to appear professional.

It usually contains:

whiteboard and transparency markers,
pencil and eraser
my work permit
an umbrella [at least now during the rainy season]
a bottle of water
a thermos with brewed coffee [on days when have 8 a.m. classes]
a paperback novel
my school ID [used for swiping in]
textbook, name lists and handouts [on days when I have classes]
the occasional sandwich from the canteen
some clorets

My paracetemol goes in my pocket
and my toothpaste + toothbrush and spare socks are kept in my office desk.

^ Must be nice having a desk.

1 plastic clothes hangar (blue)

Is that Boeing or Airbus?

[Kent F. Kruhoeffer]

^ Actually, it was a 7-11 hanger.

I'm cheap and stupid and I feel so ashamed.
