well to me cramming is trying to shove as much information into your brain as fast as possible before a test or exam xD

Rylynne 06-14-2009 09:01 AM

Ohh, I see. xDD;;
To me, that's only one of cramming's many forms. 8DD;;
It's a very versatile art. >.>;;

slowtrain 06-14-2009 09:23 AM

I've never really studied much for exams anyway and I used to not put things off to the last minute so much so I didn't really need to have my own definition of cramming because I didn't really do it xD

things just sort of got away from me and I got lazy this semester

Rylynne 06-14-2009 01:16 PM

You mean you're not a crammer? o_o;;
Wow.
Amazing.
I wish I was like you. D: <3<3

slowtrain 06-14-2009 01:55 PM

I wish I knew how to cram effectively though... because I really really needed to be good at it last year, and I definitely need to know how to write better essays under time pressure
my time management is getting steadily worse xD

All through the first few years of high school I seemed to just be able to remember things and do reasonably well on exams without studying much, but then school got harder but I never learnt to study well

Rylynne 06-14-2009 02:12 PM

I wish I could help you learn how to cram better. :x
I wish I knew how myself. >.>;;
I don't have the best study habits either, nor have I ever had any semblance of good study habits. :x

The first few years of high school are always easier than the later years. >.>;;
Every year always gets harder, which makes me regret that I didn't work on my study habits better when things were easier.
But ah wells. :x

I'm sure you'll learn how to cram more effectively though? ^^;;
It's probably something you learn through experience more than anything else. >.>;;

slowtrain 06-14-2009 02:20 PM

well I don't have any exams in my course anyway... at least not for a few months, it's exam time now but I've handed up my last essay and presented my last project and I'm having my drawings assessed on Wednesday

so for the moment I don't need to know how, it's going to be so great to relax for a few weeks

Rylynne 06-15-2009 03:20 PM

That's good to hear then. =P Sounds like you have a lot of load off your back for now. ^^
Good luck btw with that art assessment! :>
And lolz, lucky you that you get to relax soon. =P <3<3

slowtrain 06-15-2009 03:31 PM

I've done it again though, put everything off until the last minute...
now I have to fix up three drawings and do 24 small, quick self portraits tomorrow and find some way of getting my huge pieces of paper to uni without damaging them or rolling them xD

Rylynne 06-16-2009 05:15 PM

Woah. @[email protected];; Intense. =O How about folders? :x Giant ones? xDD;;
But 24 portraits seems like so... much. @[email protected];;
Lololz. 8DD;;
Good luck...? ^^;;
Again.
Lolz. =P <3<3

slowtrain 06-17-2009 07:40 AM

having a giant folder would be really useful ones but the paper is all A0 and folders that big are really expensive

I ended up making a folder out of flattened boxes xD

they were just really quick portraits though, like really small ones, A5 sized

Rylynne 06-17-2009 08:54 AM

Ohh, I see, I see. @[email protected];;
I would say to roll them up, but that's not exactly the best idea out there. >.>;;
But oohh, your idea is so creative! =P <3<3
So, good job~ 8DD;;

And ohh, I see. =O
Cool! :>
24 is still a lot though... @[email protected];;

slowtrain 06-17-2009 09:47 AM

I should take a photo of the portraits xD
they said that they wouldn't assess anything that had been rolled because then it wouldn't stay flat and it would be too hard to look at and mark D:

sad_girlformat 06-17-2009 10:19 AM

I love your sig slow! <3<3<#
so pretty... and getting prettier!! XD

slowtrain 06-17-2009 10:54 AM

thanks sasa <3

Rylynne 06-17-2009 05:10 PM

Woah, really? @[email protected];;
Picky people... >.>;;
Lololz. xDD;;

And oohh, I'd love to see~ :3 <3<3

Queen_Andais 06-18-2009 01:53 PM

Morning dearies. How are you?

slowtrain 06-18-2009 02:21 PM

lol, I'm too lazy to get a pic right now, laaaater xD

hey :)
good morning to you too, although it's night here xD

Rylynne 06-20-2009 02:31 PM

LOLZ, fine then. xDD;; <3<3
No pressure though. 8DD;;
I'm just curious, is all~ ^^;;

slowtrain 06-20-2009 03:55 PM

I will I will I will
just... not yet

right now I'm about to go to sleep, my room is in disarray because
my sister had a party and her drunken, high friends came into my room and knocked things off
my bookshelf and my brother has taken my computer
to my grandparents house

but tomorrow I will show you!

Rylynne 06-20-2009 03:57 PM

Woah. @[email protected];;
Talk about invasion of privacy. >.>;; </3
I would get so pissed if that happened to me. x_x;;

And oohh! I'm excited then! :'D <3<3
Dunno if I can be around tomorrow though.
Father's Day calls for me to be out with family. xDD;;

slowtrain 06-21-2009 12:09 AM

Ugh, I am pissed!

Last night one of them opened the door to my room and just stared at me
I am so not happy about this whole thing

plus they drank all my mum's gin xD

well when you get back from your fathers day business maybe there'll be a photo here

Rylynne 06-21-2009 03:55 AM

Okay, that's weird. o_O;;
But funny...? xDD;;
And eww, gin. >.>;; I'm not really a gin sort of person.
Vodka all the way~ 8DDD;; <3<3

Anyhows, I'm about to leave for my father's day business. =P
So, maybe...? xDD;;

slowtrain 06-23-2009 03:27 PM

only I'm lazy and easily distracted

the self portraits don't really look like me
but the still life looks like bananas and tomatoes ^^
xD

Rylynne 06-23-2009 03:31 PM

Ooohhh! How pretty! *__* <3<3

My favorites are the whole first row of the first piccie and the first and third ones on the first row of the last set of portraits. :>

And woah, your current gold count has a lot of fives in it, lolz. xDD;; <3<3
