College burned me out on reading. Honestly, I haven't picked up a book since

I definitely don't mind not having finals week or midterms. If I get a certain promotion, I might hafta take a really difficult board certified specialist test. Yikes, it scares me.

Hooray for photographic memory!

Take a break...you deserve it.

MCBTunes · #8 04-27-2008, 10:36 AM

I'm with Peter.

I've been cramming for my last final for a couple days and I've developed headaches haha. Make sure you take a decent 10 minute break every hour and a half otherwise your focus drops and the material will wont be remembered. I generally take slightly longer breaks

I know the feeling mate. My first is on Thursday, last is two weeks tomorrow.

Then i'm down with just the graduation ceremony!

May be doing a masters this year, still waiting to hear back. Alot of it is dependant on funding (aswell as my final degree mark).

It's some sort of self punishment

At least you're studying... I have (2) 20 page papers due for classes that aren't even for my major, just stuff I took for the hell of it. In fact, the seminar for my major is the easiest thing I'm taking this semester, but I just can't motivate myself to get the research done on these, and the due date is coming up... but then graduation.

I'm very much over this crap.

The easy way around that is to not read most of the material...

CamMcIntyre · #12 04-27-2008, 01:28 PM

I've only got 2 finals this year. Economics 102 [Micro] & my jury. Jury-the hardest part will be getting my tunes memorized. Economics i'm not all that worried about-i'm transferring out of my school after this semester. If i screw up, i can always retake it. Hooray for community college & open enrollment.

When you've absorbed as much as you can, it's time to get out and play for a while.

But I made it a point to minimize the number of classes requiring memorization during my college career(s), including my Ph.D. Memorization is usually more busy-work than actual learning. What COUNTS is the ability to apply knowledge, and that's teachers should be testing for.

jonathan_matos5 · #14 04-27-2008, 11:04 PM

hopefully all this studying pays off and i do well. im getting tired of these memorization type tests.

i dont know but i imagine i would find out if i ever felt like taking geology.

ADbassman · #17 04-28-2008, 12:06 AM

This is why I take mostly writing intensive courses. I only have 1 final this semester. The rest of my courses revolve around a huge paper. Fortunately I'm a good writer.

heroincredible · #18 04-28-2008, 04:17 AM

I'm taking a break from studying right now. In 12 hours I'll be writing my stupid contemporary soci theory exam, which is going to be a pain in the butt since most of the theory is about globalization, post-modernism/post-structuralism, etc, where the main concepts aren't really bolded or italicized or anything in the text, so it all just bleeds together into one massive reading about how society is nowadays.

I can see it now: "What are the major ideas of such and such's theory?"

Answer: There are actually names for this ****?
