I love my new digicam!!!
Yes... the Canon Powershot SD1000. *drool* Not bad for a compact digi-cam with LOADS of features and portability. $230 for the cam, $40 for extra batt, and $10 for a decent semi-hard case. Not bad. Not bad at all.One thing I can't get answered from Canon's website, manual, or the store people: what is the max SDHC card I can put into it? I found a 8gb SDHC I want to put in, but I don't want to buy it and find out that it will not work. Anyone know? I guess it's time to hit the forums!
Yes you are beautiful... I'm talking about my cam! Durf...I need a name for her. *thinks*
Testing out how well I can put a panoramic shot with the new cam. YES that IS my desk. YES it is messy. YES I'll clean it up after finals are over. Sheesh. You don't have to bug me about it...~~
For those STILL having finals *snickers* I'd like to give ya'll some tips that have been helpful to me or that I wish I should have utilized.
Recording lectures
Having an MP3 recorder or tape recorder during class helps when your professor bases the test off his/her lecture. One of my professors speaks REALLY REALLY fast. One of my classmates decided to bring a tape recorder in and after class she would dictate the notes on a MS word document and use that as a study guide. She would also listen to the tape in her car during her daily commute.
Tag-team lecture notes
Because I did not have a tape recorder for my incredibly fast talking professor, I overcame this obstacle by comparing notes with my study group in that class. We would all take notes and compare them with each other to see if we missed something. It's good to have 4-6 people doing this so that everyone will cover all the points of lecture.
Watch videos
No no, not during class, I mean the lecture. YES people DO bring video cameras in class, set them up, leave, then come back after lecture to pick up their equipment. They are good for study groups and discussion sessions. Pausing the tape to ask questions helps the group understand the content.
Listen while sleeping
I've heard from somewhere that if you play a language learning tape while your sleep every night for a month, you'll be able to pick up the language faster than if you were awake studying it. I'm not sure if that is true, but I like the concept. I have some lectures on DVD and I play them while I take a nap in the afternoon or at night. I can rest my eyes and listen at the same time. I don't know if there is way to actually prove that this works, but I seem to do well on of my finals recently. *shrugs*
Naps are good for humans as well as them lazy cats
The body needs to sleep. Taking a 10-20 min nap in the afternoon has been proven to increase productivity throughout the rest of the day. Giving your body that quick "recharge" will improve your concentration and focus.
Have some nuts, not coco beans
Frequent snacking is good way to keep your appetite satisfied during the day, but it's also good for keeping awake while studying. And it's healthy too! Instead of going to that overrated Starbucks or Seattle's Best Coffee shop and pay 5 bucks a cup, and go get some trail mix, nuts, or a granola bar. Eating makes your body and your digestive system work as well as give you energy to study.
Stop, breathe, count to three
This helps calm those butterflies in your stomach before a test. You don't want to be too stressed to take a test. However, mild anxiety has been found to be helpful for students in achieving high scores. That anxiety can give you the alertness, focus, and concentration on conquering that test. Saying a prayer before the test doesn't hurt either. God is more than capable on helping you with a test let alone the war on terrorism.
