I’ve been so swamped with studying and midterms that I haven’t had much time to do what I want to do: hang out, work out, play basketball, eat. I’m not even sure if my studying works. I haven’t been getting the results that I’ve hoped.
I would study and study for hours and hours, then I’d forget most of the things I studied the next day. My way of studying is to study things over and over so crap like that wouldn’t happen. In theory, if I was to read things over and over, I can’t possibly forget it.
So I studied for like 6-8 hours for my biology midterm. That class isn’t really biology; it’s more like socio-biology. Anyway, I went in the room feeling pretty good to take the midterm. When I finshed early, I was feeling pretty confident that I got everything right. The week after, I got my results back. I got a friggin’ 63/100. What kind of crap is that?!
People that studied less than me got higher grades than me, even people that barely go to class. Apparently, I’ve been studying all the wrong material. Those questions that I said, “Nah.. why would he ask that?”, actually did appear on the test. Stupid.
