Note taking.

Usually when it comes to taking notes, I don't. Unless the teacher states something along the lines of "take notes on the following", I don't take initiative. I don't feel as though it's always necessary. Sometimes teachers ramble, or review things that are already known. But in the case of a project I take extensive notes. Projects are major grades in school, I take them seriously. In any other case I wouldn't care. In college classes you listen to lectures on disciplines, but don't usually do work in class. Assignments are usually papers over lectures and tests over lectures. Making taking notes a priority. In highschool we have daily grades, projects, quizzes, and tests over various things, not just lectures. And sometimes depending on the teacher they hand out notes.

I am not studious.

When I study, if I study, my area is outside. I'll either go on a walk and find a quiet place, or I'll go to my mimi's ranch and find a spot in the woods. Just the feeling of nature takes me to a state of tranquility. The peace of it helps me focus on the task of studying. To get ready to study I take a few deep breaths and dive in. I don't really have any rituals, theres no point. I study alone to keep from getting distracted, because if I'm with others I get sociable. Getting off task and playing around are the result when I try to study with a group. Another distraction is becoming too peaceful. Then all I can think about is sleeping, or that I could be doing something more exciting. These are my usual study habits. I should probably make an effort to study more, because it would improve my grades. But I've never been a studious person.
