Sims School Life

The most interesting things in life have been in my academics era. I am not sure if I would like to end it soon , I will rather prefer to take a break. Learning is a life long experience

Review Time : With My Young Brother in Mind.

Well, well, well. Learning is simple straight forward. Go to class and absorb all (notice I did not say "as much as you can ", I repeat absorb all) .Its exam time , regurgitate just what is required. My choice of word "regurgitate " is based on assumption that at times we are rumens struggling to be humans.Never mind. (but never say that to me...who ? the blogger).

What I said above the empty line is sort of ironic. Learning is crooked sometimes . Help name this sequence : Its review time, we have to review what we learnt , review what we have reviewed from what we learnt then review what we reviewed from what we reviewed from what we learnt then exam time. I am sorry , I said "we", maybe I should have said "I" , I mean said "you".Why ?Well, well, well, Its exam time for me and I blogging so it means my review sequence is shorter. Okay, now get something cool about my younger brother.

In some years back, in a small village ( but big enough to accommodate me, my family and the villagers) in the north eastern part of Botswana, in a small primary school,( small relative to the universe), It happens to be school day, I don't think I had a choice of not being in school( based on the previous years experience...feel not free to inquire about the experience). On that special day I was summoned to my young brother's classroom . Standing by young brother's desk was my aunt, speechless-as to not saying anything and not being able to. Sitting down was my young brother flabbergasted (I liked such words those days) for me and my aunt being there. The problem was simple, my young brother did not want to "re-learn", he withstood all the scary faces of his teacher even all threats to him. ( by the way when you are young , everything is a threat, including being locked in a classroom with windows same size as the door).His reasoning was simple, he long learnt that stuff, in other words the teacher was wasting his time, he did not come to school to learn and re-learn , I call re-learning review myself. I dont remember what I said then , and how it was solved, but aunt got speechful, I guess so because she is speeks now.My young brother is as old as I am now, but he was three years younger by then, figure it out. For his sake I will pause here.

University Survival Skills

At university I take and have taken wonderful courses taught by wonderful instructors.But that does not mean I always have wonderful moments all wonderful times.Consider , a situation I happen to be a victim of ,maybe by choice. Okay, the situation was a victim then. A wonderful instructor tends to assign wonderful problems sets for a wonderful assignment from a wonderful textbook that wonderful me( my name withheld while the story continues) did not wonderfully have. Unsaid intent of the wonderful instructor (name witheld while he continues to teach the course), was to test our SS skill. Sorry SS stands for Savers Survival Skills , I know you guessed it wrongly anyways especially that Google disappointed you.
Problem Statement : Find a wonderful textbook to get wonderful questions for the wonderful assignmet.

Solutions : For a Saver buying is forbidden

A) Assume it exist in the library. Run to be library. Fortunately it does not exist.( If existed its unfortunate because its a very weak skill)

B) Someone In Class has the wonderful textbook.well well well, here is how this solution works
  • Assume all boys in class dont have the textbook .Implication :
    Going around the class asking guys for the textbook is a waste of time.
  • Mmmn, you know the next one ...It did not work for me, I have enough
    reasons, I dont dare to enumerate them, but I do have resultant effect:
    I did not get the text book.
C) The solution that works: Go to be Bookstore , be a pretentious buyer and be good at it. Browse through the textbook and Mentally copy atleast two questions and copy them rite. If suspicion is eminent ,facially render the textbook useless and feel hopeless while invoking the disappearence protocol. Repeat this solution untill the assigment is done while monitoring the assignment deadline.

Well, I advance my skills with the next assignment , I have to spare some of my typing energy for my assignment.Thats Saving too.
