I've been doing some thinking and I've realised I spend a ridiculous amount of time sittting around on the bus/train doing nothing (ie 1 hour 45mins on the bus each school day plus 1 hour 20mins on the train on Saturdays).
Hey, just like me! (1 hr 30 mins to get to school and potentially uni)
I had a thing called podcrammers. Basically verbal summary notes. Worked for chem, not so for methods.
I could never read, too noisy. Best to sleep, but be careful you don't oversleep and miss your stop. That's happened to me before, although I only live one stop from the terminus, I still miss my stop.
There was this once where I was headed to school in South Yarra (MHS) from down the Pakenham line. Obviously being a near hour trip, I drifted off to bed...and found myself at Spencer Street not quite knowing where I was until it hit me around 2 seconds later.
That was embarrasing =/
