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.
