a typical study day

[Collin Li]

this is how i do it, but one of my teachers told me it was vaguely unhealthy but i disagree - what does anyone else think?

9-10am - get up, breakfast, toilet etcetc
10am-1pm - study
1-1.30pm - lunch
1.30-5.30pm - study
5.30-7.30pm - dinner break
7.30-8.30pm - study
8.30-11/12am - msn, tv, fsn, myspace, read, talk to friends, whatever.

cos that means i get 8 or so hours study done a day.

      Just don't eat during any times you have an exam awaiting. During the year I had a sizeable meal at 4.00pm [when I got home] which I am sure would have affected my exam perfoemance had it not been for wise advice from my coord.

That's good advice. You will naturally get tired at these times too, because digestion takes bloodflow away from your brain area.

Why is your name "bubble sunglasses" anyway?

I don't even have a schedule, I'm so unorganised. I study when I feel like it. And I almost never feel like it. I hope I don't fail chemistry + physics  :cry:

Exact same with me, I've been the same since forever.
And I end up getting good marks anyways... I still don't know how I do it

i dont have a schedule. if i did i wouldnt stick to it anyway. im probably doing max one hour of study a day ha. maybe two hours, except its very unproductive. oh shit. i havnt started eco. oh shit. its on friday

Same with me.
Some days, even less than one hour.
I was meant to study a lot today. I haven't started yet.
Throughout the whole year, I never did any homework on the weekends.

Lucky you then! For me this is what ends up happening:

* Opens chemistry book.
* Reads a paragraph blindly, without honestly thinking it through.
* Views something and looks it up on wikipedia.
* Wikipedia gives a mathy definition of it.
* ..So naturally, follow the links.
* One things leads to another, and I'm on some maths site.
* So I open some maths pdfs, and solve some olympiad problems or something for a few hours.

Before I know it, the day is gone   :x

Ahh wikipedia...

Many hours have been wasted clicking from link to link there...

    I like them, as Toothpick likes toothpicks  Though I was also considering calling myself "Mousquetaire", "Pius Thicknesse" or "Fizzing Whizzbee"

Yeh wikipedia is a pretty time wasting site.(One thing leads to another and then you have spent 2/3 hrs just on wikipedia and begin to feel sleepy)

One thing leads to one another is right! Ahmad and I were going from Communism --> Binomial theorem --> Earthquakes --> Bottled water --> Six degrees of separation

[Ahmad]

Yep. All without using the keyboard. Just by simply clicking on links.

Heh, sounds like me on YouTube sometimes...
"Ooh, this related video looks good! *clicks*
Ooh, another video that also looks good! *clicks*
Hm. Looks interesting... *clicks*
etc etc etc."

And yeah, I do the same thing on Wikipedia

As long as you don't burn out on 'your typical study day'

That's EXACTLY what i do. Only yesterday i was looking at maths links and i got to 'terrence tao' site so i went to his univeristy page and downloaded some lectures and started to solve them! They were so hard! by the time i  learnt about harmonic analysis, geometric combinatorics etc it was like midnight! Pumped me up for Physics though  

[Ahmad]

Haha that's cool. I've actually been on that page a dozen or so times. On the discussion page even Roger Hui responded, the creator of J programming language. I've corresponded with him before.

Read terences book on problem solving (which he wrote when he was 15, then rewrote a preface at 30). Interesting.
