Studying

Exam is here again, and i shouldn't even be turning on my computer now, but whats a bored student to do....
Ok, fine i know i should study, but sometimes studying alot kinda takes the life out of...well....life.

So for me, i sit down on a couch, ready to study, then get up reluctantly after realizing my book is upstairs, then i get down, then remember that i forgot to bring down the pencil case to do questions, so up i go again. The responding variable, x=number of up and down trips in the house,  depends on the number of remembered items, and effectiveness of memory=manipulated variable thus making me tired before even flipping a page=another responding variable. Constant variable, u ask? Hmm...type of subject(theres only me anyway).

So after taking the book, opening the page (which is a monumental task since the journey of studying begins with the willpower to actually open a book) will need immense energy,  because after i open a page, i'm already tired because just the thought that i'm expected to memorize the whole thing to the full stop will discourage me.

Alot.

So after that(lol this is sounding like a tutorial), i begin the first of many chapters. Some chapters are deceptive, on the contents page i see 7 chapters, but after examining the page number its actually 30 pages each. Then thats the time i close the book then scream in my mind and say why over and over again. After a while the exam deadline and the need to get good grades pull me back together again and i'll open it again, and start reading the first chapter....

Ok, lets start....Photoshop is the leading graphics(oops wrong book)....Biology is the study of life, deriving from the word Bio "life" and Logos "the study of".

Ok, skip the intro, i'm studying not reciting. Lets see, scientific method? Hmm....Identifying the problem....Controlling Variables...

(2 hours later)

Lysosome....eliminates worn out organelles from the cell to enable it to renew itself.

(1 hour later)

Ok, finally done with bio. Now, SLEEP!!

(4 hours later)

Yawn, morning...oops i mean afternoon...

Ok, since i studied already, i need to make sure that i remember the stuff.

So i'll do questions at this point.

1. What is the process done by Paramecium Sp to prevent itself from rupturing?

Lets see, lets see....remove water. Osmosis. Contractile Vacuole. Oh! Osmoregulation!

2. Which of the following shows epithileal tissue?

Uhh, which of the what? Where are the diagrams? Darn printing press....

3. True or Flase? The cell depends on other cells for food.

Uhh...typo...and no cells make their own i think. Argh...book editors, always profit before quality!!!

4. Which of the organelles contain

Contain what?! How can i do the question?! Doh!!!

5. How many atoms are they in 2.5 mols of oxygen gas, O2?

THATS CHEMISTRY!!! WHAT IS IT DOING IN A BIOLOGY BOOK!! STUPID PUBLISHING COMPANY!!

Ok, revision questions are so out of the question now. (hey look, pun!)

So i tried testing it myself, you know, closing the book then testing on what i read. Maybe because what i read was immediately stored in short term memory, i can remember it well. Like, when you read that a cell wall is totally permeable, u can remember that sentence when someone asks you right after. So, i can remember that after closing the book. Then after i finish memorizing, i get up to drink something then i forget it. Short term memory, gone. Noooooooo....

Too bad we dont have a biological system to directly transfer short term to long term memory,  a little bit like ram to hard disk(i think). So not only u can memorize a novel just after reading, but you can finally remember what you ate last tuesday when the thought comes up. Oh wait, being able to remember everything is kinda creepy, we need to forget things too i forgot that.

Oops i went too far, oh great....how am i going to make the topic go back on track? oh...

Finalism.... studying isnt everything, but when the time comes(cough, SPM, cough), treat it like everything. Then treat it like nothing after you're done and be happy that you did great, so who cares if u dun get full A+? Hard work is what matters.

Ok i know thats easier said than done.
