Study, study
Monday is my first systematic test, and it's going to be a doozy. It seems that the tests in this class are designed not just to see if you indeed read and comprehended the material, but to see if you went to the next level and put some thought into it. Granted I know this seems to be saying the same thing, but it's not. The difference is in "comprehed." You can comprehend w/o ever thinking about what you're comprehending. The difference is reasoning.Definitions courtesy of dictionary.com

In other systematic news, I spent about 3.5 hrs in the library on campus reading for my reading report the next day. I am proud to say that in 920 minutes I read 359 pages. Hopefully that's enough...

Remember - the value of a class is not always necessarily measured in terms of a letter grade - but rather what you learned. (That's what pulled me throught Shakespeare). That's not what I said when I paid your school bill - but it's definitely how you can comfort yourself when YOU pay your school bill.
