done with the "making flashcards" portion of studying

[katekat]

Now comes the "learning what's on the flashcards" portion of studying. And for those of you who disdain flashcards, I was one of you until I had to learn 150 native plants of Texas for a test tomorrow. And all the TA does is take us out to a nature preserve, point to a plant, and say, "What's this one?" Pretty pictures of plants are my friends.

Yes, I will be posting these inane updates now that I'm in my last week. Aren't you excited? Isn't that fun?

Tee-hee. For years I helped my father judge the D/FW 4-H "Identify the Native plants" contest. Sideoats grama, woo hoo!

And flash cards are good! How do you think I learn languages?

Good to know, since I'm taking Japanese I this summer!

And I have this memory of my 7th grade science teacher saying "You need to learn how to make flashcards now, because you will use them later. Trust me." He was *so* right.

Actually, flashcards themselves never helped me very much. Now, *writing out* the flashcards? Possibly the only reason I ever actually leanred Greek verbs and their three zillion principle parts.

*snuffle!hug* I know - that's all part of it for me. Except this time I was writing them out while reading fic in another window, so I think i'd better go back and review (that was last night, not today's flashcards, btw).

In college I always got lost in the making of the flashcards then learning the flashcards....I was hopeless that way. I'm a bit obsessive compulsive and all the cards had to be pretty! They were a killer for my studying habits *sheepish grin*
