Conquering the Second Semester Blues

So here I am, a few weeks into the second semester and I'm feeling as lost as I did in the first. Haven't quite gotten my schedule down pat....sorry Developmental Psychology Professor...I really thought the class started at 12:30 and not 12:00....my bad. I am regretting not noting the Algebra class is computer based. It's not fun trying to make a computer understand what answer I "meant" to type. Also, the computer gives the same examples over and over as opposed to the instructor changing them and teaching you from scratch.

All in all I am enjoying college....when there's no snow of course! Seems these snow storms lately are coinciding with my Biology Labs....lucky me! So now I'm two labs behind thanks to Mother Nature. According to the professor, looks like we'll be doubling up for the next couple of weeks. Not cool!

Studying tip for today is I highly recommend studying with notecards. You take notes during class and just reading them over is not enough. Writing the note cards actually helps the information make it past your short term memory. You can recall the information more easily after writing them over and studying from the notecards.....well at least it worked for me last semester! It was a recommendation from my Speech Communication's professor that I will carry with me throughout college. I have my first Biology exam coming up so I will let you know how the notecards worked for me this time.....
