Two in a row?!

It's Sunday morning and Naomi has been in bed for almost 4 whole hours. So far the dogs have been keeping it cool and letting her sleep. I am making attempts to study. *sigh*

Each student has their own rituals for going through their study material. I've seen people make an entire pine tree's worth of note cards: Some of those people use them to memorize and some people just make them and never bother to read them again. There are students who make these terrifying mind maps, hoping to encapsulate all the material into one giant constellation. The largest one of these I've seen was nearly 6' long. Some people use the study rooms and cover the dry erase boards with gibberish, like the Beautiful Mind guy.

Me, I fall into the highlighting crowd. I read my notes and highlight the hell out of them. I read through my notes at least twice before a test, and so the second time I go through them I select a different color. I prefer my first coat to be yellow and then a second coat of either pink or blue. The reason for this is by mixing yellow and blue I can get a third color of green, or using pink, orange. This allows me THREE colors by the time I've gone through twice. My prismatic notes, by the second pass, are nearly impossible to read without seizing. I've had numerous classmates get really upset with me when I try to show them something in my notes because they are so terrifying. I have, as of week 5, used up and thrown away 8 highlighters. I just bought 30 more this weekend, so I'm good for a couple of weeks. I'm a junky!
