Finals!!

Hey everyone,

Everyone knows that time of the year when you attempt to cram everything you learned on the course of a semester. As finals for me are two days away, I have decided to give you guys some advice on how to study for the finals you will have.

A main point is not being overstressed about finals because being overstressed will cause some serious issues on your day of the finals. The week before the finals, in my opinion, would be the best time to start studying. Review the first chapters you have learned and progress toward the end. It is also important to get some decent amount of sleep. I know for a fact that us high school students and college students are intensely sleep deprived. That is the exact reason you should start studying hard a week before. If you can get enough sleep and good meals there is no doubt you will have a major win over the finals. Another important tip is to not reread entire chapters. Why? It is a waste of time to read chapters that you have already read beforehand. So how do you study? Go through the chapters and all its subsections and talk about anything you see in particular. Have a list next to you and write down what you know for certain and what you’re iffy about. Sure sounds corny but it help.

The week before the finals, your teachers may hold one day to review everything that you have learned so far. This is very important because anything that you are not sure about, you have the opportunity to ask your teacher. Taking notes off the net is also a great way to study because people have taken their time to write down and simplify 40 pages of reading. Procrastination is unavoidable in this time but try hard to stay focused. There is no problem with taking an hour break to watch your favorite show or play your favorite game to release most of your unwanted stress. But be cautious because time goes fast when you’re slacking off. One way to stop your procrastination is thinking you are on the border line of getting an A in that one favorite class and your REALLY do want to get an A in the class. This mentality is very helpful when people start telling you that you will not be able to make that higher grade. Well amongst all these things, good luck and study hard. Off to study for finals!!

What to do on spare time??

Hii,

Well when i have some time i like to make digital signaturesa and userbars. I'm not the best at them but i guess mediocre would work. Here's some of my creations

Drift City

Well hiiz,

After playing lots of Racing Style Games like Need for Speed and Project Torque the communities of both introduced me to a new game called Drift City, or Skid Rush in Korea. This game was unlike either of the two previous games I have played. Drift City is a Anime based game with a concrete plot and a huge variety of cars. The game came out of closed beta into open beta on September 5^th, 2007. The plot of Drift City is pretty simple.

The world’s fuel started becoming extinct, and on a offshore island, new fuel was discovered. Now known as Mittron Fuel. The OMD (Organization for Mittron Development) is the government that controls Mittron Island its 4 cities: Moon Palace, Koinonia, Cras, and Oros. After you register on www.drift.ijji.com and get in game, you are sent to a character license screen. This is where you choose your car, your name, and the color of your first car. After creation you are sent to Moon Palace, a city for all new drivers meant to increase their drifting skills. Unlike many games, Drift City uses a fairly basic driving system. You may use the W A S D controls or the Arrows to guide your car. Drifting itself is easy, all you require is pressing the shift button at the correct turn and going either right or left. Because the game is in anime form, the graphics cannot compare to NFS or Grid, but that is what makes the game so special. The game is a free roam meaning you can drive anywhere in the 4 cities (depending on your level) without limits. Drift City is based by levels and experience gained through missions found at Stations in each city. A more in-depth guide can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_City or http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Drift_City.

Just like any game, Drift City has its own unique and friendly community. The game masters (GMs) are frequently listening to players and “Working hard, always.”(GM_Belegnir). Drift City’s update count has been somewhat slacking but as of recently and the realease of Stage 2, updates had been a frequent monthly surprise. Point is, Drift City is an awesome game if you like going fast and having lots of fun. With a fairly big community, Drift City portrays style and diversity.
