So I have discovered a new favorite tv show, called The Big Bang Theory, I think it is the most brilliant show I have watched in awhile, it is both knowledgeable and humorous. TPB has torrents of the first season.

So I haven't blogged in quite awhile. Graduation is fast approaching, but after that are exams. I have begun to review over my subjects, because I think that reviewing everyday is the best way to prepare for exams. The BC Ministry of Education gives $1000 to every student who obtains 3 A's on their provincials. And if you are within the top 25 students in the province, you get $2500, that is a lot of money. I think that my current method of studying is very effective, review, then test using studybuzz, then actually study.

The best way of studying is to learn the material the first time, so the second time you see it, it will only be refreshing something that is already in your brain. Holistic learning is learning everything not as a specific category, but trying to connect it all together. By connecting ideas, it will be easier to recall a specific term, because there are so many other connections to it. Think in metaphors and by associating ideas with simple everyday objects. And most importantly, it is through sleep that most information is retained, so studying before sleep allows your brain to constantly think about what you have just studied, allowing more time for the information to percolate deeper into the brian.

So this is how it ends

Busy busy busy, that is all I can stay in this post, because its the truth. Its been awhile since I've posted anything, so I just felt like writing a post on how busy it is. I guess its the teachers way to saying good bye to us, giving us projects and tests that we will never forget. Since I am too busy to write a good post, I'll just list the things that I have to do still.

  • English Project
  • Religion Project...(maybe I won't do it)
  • Study study study
  • Finish building my computer, gotta buy those parts
  • study some more
