The Daily Chit-Chat [2008]

[Charliezard]

I'm yet to talk to a jerk from Canada. That's all I have to say about it :P. Never been further then New Zealand myself...I'm Aussie so that's close. Although I wouldn't mind going there :>

 

[Alakazam17]

The best things in Canada, eh? XD

When comparing it to the U.S., I always name three things: free health care, the metric system, & lower crime rates.

And Onvoloper, I've met my fair share of Canadian jerks, XD. I think Canada is seen more peaceful because of how we came to become independent from Britain. While the Americans started a revolutionary war which lost an entire ship full of tea among other things, the Canadians just signed a piece of paper. Though it was nearly 100 years later. ^^

 

[Cherrim]

Oh, I find in general that Canadians are more polite than Americans. D: I mean, even something as simple as opening doors for people--when I'm around Canada, almost everyone will hold the door open until you get to it (or at least hold it open long enough so that by the time you get to it, it won't have closed on you). In the US, I rarely get people holding the door open for me. :[ Same with when you bump into people--in Canada both parties tend to go "excuse me!" and I'm usually the only one who says it if I happen to walk into someone (or vice versa! D:<) in the US. @_@; It's not everyone there, obviously, but it happens with a lot of strangers in the US. :( There are still plenty of Canadian jerks though. XD

My favourite thing about Canada HAS to be free healthcare. I'd be so broke without it. <_<;;

 

[Alakazam17]

XD I know what you mean with the door openings. I was with my dad in a Michigan truck stop some time ago, and I remember some guy holding the door open for us. I was a little surprised to see it in America....but then I noticed the license plate on the guy's truck. Ontario! XDDD

I have a thing with remembering too much...this happened in, like, the 90's. *sweatdrop*

 

[Cherrim]

LOL that... actually really amuses me. XD;

I remember lots of stupid things that are useless too. But damn if I remember things that'll help me in my studies. 8|

I know how that goes!

It was either yesterday or the day before... but we have a female ginkgo tree in front of the dorm. I was walking with someone, and they commented on the smelly berries. So I babbled off the random things I remember about it from Botany class freshman year of high school.

And then I'll forget things like homework. Like this week, I forgot to e-mail an essay topic to my teacher. >_>;;

*sigh*

:P On that note, I tend to write things I HAVE to remember on my hand. Although sometimes that backfires; I'll look at it later and say, "Why the heck did I write 'tropical civilizations' on my hand!?"

I do that sometimes, too. If it's important, I tend to remember without help, but if I'm really paranoid about it... it'll go on the hand. I won't forget it then. XD;

If I can make a list on paper, though, I'll do that. I also use sticky notes and my whiteboard outside for remembering things...

 

[Aurafire]

I never have to write myself note...I guess I can just remember those kinds of things without having to write it down anywhere. I usually just leave out whatever books I need for tomorrows classes and that helps me remember what I need =P

 

[Alakazam17]

I tend to not write much stuff down. I just try to commit it to memory. And if it's important enough, it just stays there.

...but then again, I have a lot of useless information up there in my noggin'. World capitals, math equations, conversations I've had when I was a little kid(XD yes), peoples' names, and of course Pokemon strategies and movesets. XD

I never really thought why writing something on your hand was a good idea. I'd rather write in on my head. Not literally, though. XD

 

[Angela]

I almost never take notes, most of my teachers put them on the internet, they use powerpoint:D

 

[doesn't matter]

My lecturers still put their lectures online but I still take the time to print them off, attend lectures and write notes. I just find it to be a much more effective learning experience.

Speaking of which, I should be studying, but I'm still tired from last night, haha.

 

[Azzurra]

I don't like studying much either, but we all have to do it, especially since some of my college exams are coming up :o

 

[Charliezard]

I tend to leave studying for "tomorow" and instead of writing notes and what not, I forget :>

 

[Aegis]

I hardly study as well ]: I remember mots of the stuff that's on tests, and what I don't remember I can usually figure out via process of elimination. It's probably a really bad habit, but yeah XD I hardly study.

 

[Unforgettable]

I don't like to study. In high school I didn't have to and I would still pass. In college though... haha. I learned my lesson fast XD

 

[Melody]

Studying is dull. it's boring. but it's a necessary evil to say the very least.

 

[Motsuko Live]

I don't think I've ever studied for a test. It's strange, 'cause I barely ever pay attention in class, either. o.o;; As long as I get in one, solid week of hard work, I'll pass the course. It's really weird, but I'm not complaining!

 

[Angela]

Me, I'm lucky, so I always get good grades, even tho I'm not paying attention in class, I can still hear the teacher and remember what he said, so when he stops me from talking to my friends, and ask me "can you repeat what I just said" I almost always can:D

 

[Xaviar]

I'm one of the people who has to spend about 5 minutes studying for a test. As long as I do that, all the information comes back to me, but I don't retain much in the actual lectures.
