D.B.The one thing I have to be grateful though is that my teachers don't require you to take notes; it's your own choice. Often times I do, but it's somewhat of a relief to know that you don't have to if you feel like you can't. Because sometimes I feel like if I were forced to ... I'd scream.
Provided the majority of your classmates are mature enough to handle it, this is easily the best way to do it. Enforce a minimum and people will grudgingly do the minimum. Give people freedoom and motivation to do what they feel appropriate and they'll quite happily do stuff they would balk at if it was a requirement, to a higher standard as well.
Eheheh... up 'til the age of 16 I went to a school where the students had virtually full control over how they study. The only requirement is that once a week you have to report your progress and present a quick plan for the next week (to your appointed "mentor"). If you wanted to go to seminars, you're free to do so. If you want to study independently, no problem. A mixture? Sure! Mainly we worked with computers or we printed the files we needed from the network, it was all quite well organized really. Problem is that anyone below the age of 18 should not be able to have this kind of freedom unless they've made it clear that they can handle it. The students grades at this school are awful, they spend most of their weeks doing nothing. They hacked the school network and are bypassing the board's monitoring of the student accounts, surfing around the net, chatting and playing games in the computer labs. Well 'nuff about that.
MaléfixGo play jazz on the keyboard! Nothing more cheerful than a good jazz tune on the piano. (=
On the topic itself...? I dunno, I'm like Lisa on the fact that I love learning things... which is really the only thing I can genuinely enjoy doing. That is not to say I don't enjoy anything else, just that I feel like I'm wasting my time when doing other stuff. Where I trail off is on the point that I don't care enough to do anything... I'm not working for a nonexistent future. Not going in depth there, but when I'm content with the situation and the thought of a future I can be productive, when I'm not... I'm a sorry ghost. Lisa is driven by some matter of happiness, I don't have it.
My so called "IQ" is nowhere near Lisa, it's higher than average, but it's kept at bay by the intertia that is my lack of focus. Slow but efficient they say, average I say.
Friends? Strictly online, the only one I speak to on a regular basis lives in Israel and is doing his 3 year army service... poor thing. ;( Get to hear from him once every or every second week. Living copy of me except for his sporadic cynicism. Shared diagnosis, personality, problems and everything. ^-^
LTS is probably the most regular convention I visit.
Only encounters with people in real life (apart from family/if someone speaks to me at school XD) is band practice once a week, don't really know anyone there anymore, and I hate spending time around them or other people, it always makes me feel bad.
Music! I enjoy playing jazz as a little bit of a mood enhancer in the background, but it's by no means my favorite music. I mostly listen to blues-rock, progressive rock/metal, alternative rock/metal, punk rock, post hardcore, any rock that is a bit off really, it mostly depends on whether I like the band or not.
Even though rock is what I mostly listen to, my favorite genre is classical music. Not any classical music, I'm highly selective there.
I sound so pessimistic when I talk about myself, so I'm gonna stop here. Everyone's misunderstood, language fails us, we fail ourselves.
