I was in Mukamo.com a while ago and one poster asked about the other members’ study tips and habits.
Here are my simple tips:
1. Get your study materials then start studying. If you can concentrate, then it’s good. But if you think you can’t absorb what you are studying, stop for a while maybe try some relaxing activities like listening to music and watching TV.

I was first acquainted with the cyberworld when I was fourth year undergrad. After few months, I learned and enjoyed blogging. I even thought for some time I got “obsessed” with blogging. Obsessed because I used to care less about the lecture of my teacher in Physics because I was thinking of the updates I should add on my blog.

But I survived my undergrad years despite that. Oh well, God always makes miracles.

Everybody grimaced at me when I said I stay too much infront of the computer. The dean then advised me to better stop it because it will not do me any good. It’s one of the life’s luxuries that I should avoid, so she says. I agreed with her, though deep inside I kept convincing myself I could do that.
