Because of theatre, I've adapted to several different types of learning, as they're legitimately necessary for various aspects of a show. I do like writing things down, as that helps me when I see something on a test and it triggers my memory.

A lot of times, I'll draw really literal doodles next to my notes as well. Like, if there was a question about country X invading country Y, I'd draw a mini map with an arrow pointing from country X to country Y, with an smiley with mean eyebrows on country X and a frowny face on country Y. It seriously helps a lot.

I'm also big on reading notes aloud, recording them...even if it tends to turn into a dramatic reading. Listening to them, though, can help me remember. Sometimes just saying them is enough, even without recording.

i recently got one translated by an Arabian Muslim scholar and it's lightyears better, i had a much better grasp of Islam then

I really just want to know what it's all about!

Hopefully I can rely on him to get me a good translation.

I'm a freelance copywriter, which means working from home without a pre-set structure most of the time. I can safely say that the main motivational fillip is money. If ever I need something to rouse me, I think about the rent and bills that need to be paid.

My life is so fulfilling.
