Sometimes I feel weird about the way I retain information.
It seems like there's this expectation that, for example, you need to go over the same material over and over again if you're studying for an exam or something, but...my mind doesn't work that way. I can look at something once or twice and as long as I "get" the concept the first time I don't really need to go over it again. It's like it's less that I memorize stuff and more that I just don't forget to begin with.
But I've always been kinda ashamed to talk about this because I worry it comes off as cocky. "Oh, I don't even NEED to study, I'm such a jenius" You know?
(That's kind of irrelevant to this assignment, since I'm supposed to write about the article now instead of taking an exam on it later, but it got me thinking, that's all.)

My computer does this ANNOYING ASS thing where it randomly pastes text in the middle of a sentence without me pressing anything and without me having to copy the text it's pasting first.

my mom's laptop started doing that shortly before it stopped working.

^^ Haha, thanks

I thought of myself the same way. For instance, when I was attending a community college for history, I blew right through it, walked away with one of the better grades in the class.
Fast forward to a university setting, which is a much different academic setting. I'm not saying community college level is easier or more slack, but university level academics are a hell of a lot more competitive for the students and faculty. I signed up for x86 assembly, thinking it'd be no big deal because I already knew some of it, and I figured if I knew the basics of the most obtuse assembly language known to man, this course would be a breeze, right?
On my first exam in that class I scored so low that there was no possible way I could recover myself in the class. I didn't bomb that course right off the bat, I Bikini Atoll'd it. I had to drop the course and retake it, and it was a much-needed humbling experience for me.
I imagine with your interest in traffic/railroad signal technology, you're eventually going to run into at least one engineering professor who steamrolls students like this and doesn't even think twice about doing it, so it's a good idea to ask around and find out if he/she is one of those "from hell" types. Currently, I'm in a higher level class with him and in such a course that 3/4 of the class is electronic engineering and 1/4 is those of us from Computer Science which means the EE students have never had him as an instructor and nearly all of the EE students were wiped out by exam #2. I'm hanging in there pretty well, but only because I know what to expect of him.

this is an age-old problem with Linux. I can't tell you how many IRC sessions I've been on in Linux channels where the place gets spammed by this happening, and it's so common that everyone ignores it completely.

@study habits: I've been working under the assumption that a university will be a lot harder than where I am now. Part of me looks forward to it, since I don't really feel all that challenged by my community college--hell, a lot of instructors here literally hand out notes so people don't have to write stuff down--but I'm also worried that I'm not properly prepared for it.
The worst part is that I know my biggest problem is llazinessaziness. If I can get off my ass and do what I'm supposed to, I can probably do okay, but somehow even at 22 staying on-task with such things is hard for me. As evidenced by the fact that I'm typing this instead of reading about Ted Bundy.
@Linux copy-pasting: You know what's weird? It did this when I first installed Xubuntu, then it went away. I didn't change anything, it just stopped doing it. Then I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and now it does it again.
1.What is the first identifiable product of carbon dioxide
fixation in photosynthesis? (Paper 1)
A. Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP)
B. Glycerate-phosphate (GP)
C. Triose phosphate (TP)
D. Acetyl CoA
though i remember this was unfun
I ended up moving into SL Physics because i'm not really planning on a science-y career anyways and i thought it would be less work because it's a lower level class but I was wrong

1.) at the beginning of the year, acquire the textbook
2.) Read the textbook
3.) Listen if it sounds like the teacher is saying something interesting
4.) hand in homework eventually at some point if i have to
In high school and community college (and, again, this is something I assume won't fly at a university) I've found that, personally, the act of writing the notes down helps me retain the information even if I don't ever even look at it again.

...I just noticed that I wrote the dates on that page differently than I normally do. Usually I make sure to include leading zeroes in the month and date, there I didn't do either...

Also Andy Milonakis is actually a pretty boss rapper. Which is surprising, but cool.
well the song samples the commercial
or, well, it did, until Farmers' sued.
Originally I named it Miller's Coffee but as it turns out that is a legitimate name used by multiple businesses.
Also apparently the Beanery and Creamery is also taken. Alack.
Whatever. If it's an issue I'll make it TB+C Coffee and Cream instead, but I doubt it ever will be.
I'm 16 and what is this
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys

They're farmers.
What don't you understand.
This is legitimately amusing. He's in a Santa suit! XD
