It's Greek to me...

Ok, lame title, I know.

This semester I'm taking what appears to be the hardest class of my entire life. Not because the information is hard, not because I have to belong in the 200 club to understand the content at all--no, it's because my brain does not retain the information the way it is presented.

According to my professor, the easiest way to learn greek is through song.
' According to me, the easiest way to at all remember the information that I'm going to be quizzed on is by diligent memorization without song. Why? Because as soon as I sit down to take the quiz, the song flies out of my head, and I have nothing but my visual memory to help me.
Thusly, I've done horribly in this class so far because I've trusted what the professor has said.

In addition to this, I find that most of my work this semester is not tangible. It's all about reading, reading, reading.... I find it hard to read. Why read when I could be doing some actual work for a different class? So, I've decided to set up a schedule (HA, I wonder if this is going to work at all...). Every night before bed, when I'm typically on the computer/phone/ or watching tv, I shall instead be reading. So there.

Wish me luck.
