To Cram or Not to Cram...That is My Question...
Eleven at night, of course. Of course I haven't studied much as well. I have atrocious studying habits. Just plain horrible ones. I admit, I envy those who are dedicated to sitting down, everyday - whether a test is approaching or not - and do their homework, or study. I always seem to put it off. Along with the other, not so pleasant chores. While, I do enjoy my course - don't get me wrong - studying never really appeals. At least the last minute studying I tend to do. I realize, then, I should start studying before the 'countdown' happens and I'm doing it at the last hours possible. But it never works out that way, as much as I want it to. I think I may try to get Ian to help me keep on track for that. I know he can't be on me, every moment of the day, making sure I did my work - but he can at least aid me in reminding or something. Because it is something I want to fix.
I didn't really study for the test I had today in Windows 2000 Pro. I spent more time talking this morning.. -.-;; But hey, I ended up with a 86% on the test, having not studied. And the third highest mark for the test in the class. Pretty good. I do well in the crunch hours, and absorb a lot in cramming. Probably because I get so stressed. I realize, I'd do so much better if I studied ahead of time. Again, something I'm trying to fix.
But this one, is for Linux...something I wasn't entirely familiar with when I started the course for it. There's a lot of functions, and commands that are different than DOS, that I have to remember. Including the vi editor modal commands. And those are insane. Six chapters, though 1, 4, 5 and 6 are the most important. I think Chapter two is planning your system, and three is installing. I know he said not to worry about those chapters as much as the rest. Still, that's four chapters to know inside and out, and two to at least read over.
While I could sleep now, I just napped and got up a few hours ago. I slept for about five hours. I was drained and needed a nap. So now, I feel like I should stay up...that if I cleaned a little, maybe some laundry and dishes - that I would wake up so I could start cramming and getting this information into my head. I liked getting a high mark, and I want to continue to.
Wish me luck... I'm probably going to cram and stay up (even if it might not be the best for me). I wish I had some Bawls (drink) and Penguin Mints... damn...then I could use the power of extreme caffiene!
