this kinda relates to study routines i guess, but i physically cannot study sitting at a desk, i have to fool myself into thinking im not studying
:. i sit cross legged in the middle of my bed (its a queen) with all my stuff spread out around me.
only way it works for me.

see, im the opposite, i take in nothing at my desk, my mind wanders, and i can only 'study' for about 15 minutes, whereas if im on my bed, i can go for as long as i need.

For science subjects:

-Go through the syllabus, write down the dot points and answer them in an exercise book

For Maths:

-Do exercises, questions, past papers until I know I can do something and then keep going until I eliminate silly errors completely

For English:

-Write essays and creative writing things to use in exams, memorise them and practice adapting them to different questions

-Draw mind maps of main themes and issues in the text as well as similarities and differences between texts

Use Macquarie Revision Guides, much more concise while still giving a complete overview of the course

Mine is:

Think about looking at summaries
Go play the computer
Think about looking at them again
Go use the internet
Think about doing a few questions
Fix up something my little brother stuffed up
Magically convince myself that I know everything.

im soooo bad at studying. I have a whacked up philosophy that if I try and fail I have nothig, so I do everything half assed and then get disapointed when I don't go as well as I hoped. But at least I know I COULD do better.

Argh. Will force myself next week.

BOS goes under use the internet. I feel the need to kill things when I get home. *Thinks about changing the models to represent people I know.

Substitute the "summaries" and "questions" with "marking" and "wife" for brother and you have my average weekend!!
