Okay, I finally logged into tv.com:D Apparently, I changed my email address without knowing it:roll: I have two email addresses, and I closed my first one, so when I changed it yesterday, my log in pattern was different. I still can't type blogs there though:evil:
When studying for a test, read the material straight through, then go back and read it again.
Never wait until the last minute to study for a test; you'll panic. The best time to study is two days before. Then, the night before, review the material and get a good night's sleep.
Divide the test material in half and team up with a friend. Take turns teaching each other the material you've covered.
Talk to the teacher a few days before the test. Say you want to make sure you're focusing on the right material and explain your understanding of what will be covered.
Keep old tests and use them to study for the new ones. Most teachers ask certain kinds of questions and you'll know what to expect. Pay special attention to the questions you got wrong. Try to determine the reasons for the wrong answers.
A good way to learn something well is to hear it. Read you textbook out loud or try teaching it to someone else.
The night before the test, as you fall asleep, picture the important material in your mind. This is when your brain is most open to learning. You'll be surprised how much you can memorize at this time.
Your brain needs proper food before a test. Eat a good breakfast if the test is in the morning. If it's in the afternoon, avoid carbohydrates for lunch.
Bring everything you think you'll need to the test - pens and pencils, a ruler and calculator if they're appropriate, reference books if they're allowed, and a wristwatch so you can keep track of time.
Wear comfortable clothing. You'll have an easier time concentrating if you don't feel restricted in any way.
Before you go to the classroom to take the test, find a quiet spot and review the important material again.
Get to the classroom early so you're ready when the test begins. Don't sit near friends who might distract you.
When you read the test instructions, do so slowly and thoroughly. Make sure you have all the pages you're supposed to have. If you don't understand something, ask for help right away.
Take your time.
Take deep breaths and try to picture yourself leaving the classroom when the test is over. Think of how relieved you'll feel.
Answer the easy questions first. This will help build confidence. Come back to the hard questions later.
In true-false questions, remember that if part of the statement is false, the whole statement is false.
In matching columns of phrases with each other, cross them out as you connect them. Deal with the leftovers by process of elimination.
With mulitple choice questions, try to recall the answer before you read the choices. Then, as you read the choices, immediately cross out the answers you know are wrong.
For essay questions, make a short outline of your answer before you write the essay. State your main point in the first sentence; get right to the point.
If you've memorized lots of details for the test, write down the ones you think you may forget as soon as the test starts.
Another tip of mine is to GO OVER YOUR ANSWERS WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH THE TEST!!!! It's a proven fact that most answers you get wrong are mistakes that can be prevented by reviewing the question and answer.
I don't know what's going on, but tv.com won't let me log in!!!:shock: It says my email address and password isn't the correct combination:cry::evil: I have no idea what's going on, but what if I won't be able to get on tv.com ever again!?:shock: I am freaking out right now!!!:evil:Â Is anyone else having this problem?:(Â
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!!!!:P I was planning to post a blog post saying I was leaving tv.com for good, but I decided not to because a lot of people were already leaving and I didn't want to worry you guys:P Not that any of you would miss me:P
Make a committment to address you problem. Admit that you need to take steps to overcome your shyness. Think hard about the fun you're missing by hiding all the time.
Think about when you are most shy and identify one of two things you can do differently in these situations. Take these steps when you have the opportunity, but do only one new thing each time. Small steps will actually get you there faster, and the steps will be easier to take once you get a little practice.
Smile. You can be cringing inside and wishing you were home under the covers. Smile anyway.
Try to show some interest in the people around you by making eye contact with them, even if you can't think of anything to say.
Pay attentiong to what everyone is saying, even if you don't have the courage to join in. Nod a lot.
Smile some more.
If you voice is shaky, take a short breath, smile, then speak. Your voice sounds shakier to you than it does to the listener.
Excuse yourself to go to the bathroom from time to time to dry your hands and to put some cold water on your face, on the back of your neck, and on your wrists.
If your hands are sweaty, before you shake someone's hand, casually slip your hand into your pocket to dry it off.
Relax. Try to laugh at your own mistakes and learn from them as well.
Use people's names when you talk to them.
If you're in a difficult conversation, it may not be a good time to take an adversarial position on anything. If you agree with what's being said, nod your head.
Have something to hold, like a glass of water or a snack. Girls, bring a purse even if you don't need one; guys, you can always carry a newspaper of a book. These are great security blankets.
For the next 9 days, I will be sharing helpful hints and advice:D:P Most of you will be on vacation for spring break, and I would hate to have you miss the funny stuff:lol: I'll save all that for later.
Look for signs of panic. If they fidget and stutter, they're nervous about something. (on the other hand, practiced liars can also appear unnaturally calm, cool, and rigid.)
They won't answer a direct question. Liars usually stall for time so they can think up a good story. They say things like, "Well, that depends on..." and "Why would you say that?"
When people say, "To be perfectly honest," they're usually not.
The person constantly changes the subject when you ask a pointed question.
Liars try not to make eye contact with the person they're lying to. They're afraid that if they make eye contact with you, you'll see right throught them. So they look around the room for a distraction or cast their eyes downward.
Body language tells the truth. Are they suddenly fidgeting or fixing their hair when it doesn't need fixing? Also, look for a jiggling leg and a sudden, maddening itch.
Blushing and sweating are obvious signs.
How credible is their excuse? Is it so outrageous that it could only have been dreamed up? Made-up stories tend to include too many details, some of which contradict each other.
You have a gut feeling that the person is lying. Trust your instinct, especially if the liar is a stranger.
They laugh nervously.
They pretend they don't know something that you know they know.
Look for tense muscles around the mouth and cheeks of liars. They also bite their lips and raise their eyebrows when they speak.
Liars talk fast and in a voice that may be just a little higher than their normal voice. Also, look for fake coughing and clearing of the throat (while they think up a story).
Experience is a good teacher. If a person has lied to you many times in the past, you have reason to be suspicious about everything they say. (Never being trusted is one of the high prices liars pay).
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
I survived the first night with the dog:D He slept on my bed, so I kept waking up when he moved or itched. As a result, I only got about 5 hours of sleep:x Webster decided he had to go to the bathroom at 8 this morning. I took him out in slippers and a robe - when the neighbors were outside working on their deck. I was so embarrassed:roll: It was also really muddy because it rained last night, so I had to wash his paws and my slippers before we came back in:x This is why I'm a cat person...
I also have another cold:evil: I got one in January, one in February, and now I have one in March:evil: I think I have a pattern going here:? That is very strange...
