That's exactly it, we have until next server reset to do so.
I already did it.

I now look like a quite fierce mermaid if I may say so myself ^^

I'm unsure whether I should change as well since I joined kinda late but it says that it applies to everyone so better change it ;o

Yup, better be safe than sorry.

Seems like you slept well XD
And it seems my class quite failed today's test (by the teacher's standards which are impossible to attain so I guess it's probably not as bad as she makes it be)

19

I will still wait a bit, since there's plenty of hours till the reset c;

Never liked teachers like that, tests should test your knowledge not get on your nerves.

The teacher is the kind that always thinks she's right and she feels to spend one hour everyday in telling us we should study and not to be late, which is quite annoying to bear.

The thing is my school's standards are ridiculously high in the first place, like 80% is passing grade. Just this makes every test pretty stressful, I understand where they come from but this added to the sheer number of tests every week is making me tired.

*is actually studying for tomorrow's test*

Wow sounds like a strict school, I wouldn't manage there as I can be a real slacker. Good luck with it!
Surprisingly I'm done studying for mine, it took only a few hours as it's an easy subject.

So am I. I'm glad I am talented with languages otherwise I'm not sure I would survive.
I'm honestly not good at studying, I really don't know how I should go about it.

At least I have motivation, which is one of the most important thing, I guess.

Haze, good luck for your test!

Well, I kind of follow the same studying pattern I did since junior high school which is basically casually reading the books, then before the exam re-read them and write down the stuff I consider most important or most likely to forget on a notebook then study from that. I always try to understand what I'm reading is all about first and make associations as you don't have to memorize lots of things when you actually understand them and can later explain them with your own words. I just don't like memorizing stuff, so I was kinda bad at history and biology, but subjects that required critical thought and such were the ones I did the best. Though I'm a procrastinator so I always study on the last day before my exams, have no motivation myself but work good under pressure

Thanks.

I see where you come from. I usually memorize most of the things from the lessons just by coming to class and focusing on listenning there. It's amazing how much studying can get done without even thinking about it.
Then I re-read the material the day before and mark down everything that's important, just like you.

I'm kinda lucky to have been raised in France, every humanity subject gets graded through essays. Which I could get out of without studying much, and that worked for history as well, as long as I remember some key events.

Now though I'm studying Japanese and remembering kanji needs some serious studying.

Oh yes, if you pay attention in class then half of your studying is already done. Attendance in university isn't mandatory here so I sleep in a lot and miss the lectures but it would be ideal to attend them.

That sounds like a good educating system, here we gotta learn lots of stuff by heart that we instantly forget about once the exam is over.

Such a difficult language ;o Best of luck!
