10．Jobs quickly became bored with college，He liked being at Reed，just not taking I he required classes．In fact，he was surprised when he found out that there were strict course requirements．When Wozniak came to visit．Jobs waved his schedule at him and complained．"They are making me take all these coyrses．"Wozniak replied，"Yes，that's what they do in college，"Jobs refused to go to the classes he was assigned and instead went to the ones he wanted，such as a dance class where he could enjoy both the creativity arid the chance to meet girls．"I would never have refused to take the courses you were supposed to，that's a difference in our personality．"said Wozniak surprisedly and admiringly．
Jobs also began to fed guilty about spending so much of his parents'money on an education that did not seem worthwhile．"All of my working-class parents'savings were being spent on my college tuition（學(xué)費）．"he detailed his experience in a famous ceremony address at Stanford．"I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out．And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life．So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay．"
He didn't actually want to leave Reed；he just wanted to quit paying tuition and taking classes that didn't interest him．Surprisingly，Reed tolerated that．"He had a very inquiring mind that was enormously attractive，"said the dean of students．Jack Dudman．"He refused to accept automatically received truths，and he wanted to examine everything himself．"Dudman allowed Jobs to audit classes and stay with friends in the dorms even after he stopped paying tuition．
"The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting．"he said．Among them was a calligraphy （書法）class that appealed to him after he saw posters on campus that were beautifully drawn．"I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces（字體），about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations，about what makes great typography great．It was beautiful historical，artistically fine in a way that science can't capture，and I found it fascinating．"
It was yet another example of Jobs consciously positioning himself at the intersection （相交點）of the arts and technology．In all of his products，technology would be married to great design，elegance，human touches-and even romance．*Mf I had never dropped in on that single course in college，the Mac would have never had so many typefaces．And since Windows just copied the Mac，it's likely that no personal computer would have them．"
Meanwhile Jobs had a hard time at Reed．He went barefoot most of I he time，wearing sandals when it snowed．Elizabeth Holmes made meals for him，trying to keep up with his obsessive diets．He returned soda bottles for spare change，continued his long hard journeys to the free Sunday dinners at the flare Krishna temple，and wore a down jacket in the heatless garage apartment he rented for $20 a month．When he needed money he found work at the psychology department lab maintaining the electronic equipment that was used for animal behaviour experiments．Occasionally Chrisann Brennan would conic to visit．Their relationship developed abnormally．But mostly he tended to the beginning of his own soul and personal goal for enlightenment （開明）．
"I came of age at a magical time，he reflected later，"Our consciousness was raised by Zen，and also by LSD，Even later in life he would credit certain drugs for making him more enlightened．"Taking LSD was a valuable experience，one of the most important things in my life．LSD shows you that chores another side to the coin，and you can't remember it when it wears off．but you know it．It heightened my sense of what was important-creating wonderful things instead of making money，putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could．"
