We had a pretty full weekend. Saturday, we spent all day (except for 3 hours from 2-5PM) at the SDA church. They had a guest speaker for a relationship seminar. It was amazing! We heard things we'd never heard before about relationships, stuff we could identify with, stuff that explained things that had been puzzling to us about our relationship and other relationships. It was well worth the time.
I spent Sunday studying with Lauren for our take-home Biblical Backgrounds midterm. I went from 1PM to 7:30PM, with a dinner break, and finally hit threshold study capability. She went home, I took the exam. I think it went well. I find that it's really hard to tell how well I'm doing on things here until the final grades come out. When I did the Anthro exam a week or so ago, I counted about 65% definite "corrects" on the test. I actually got a 96%. So, I counted 7 (of 15) definite "corrects" on my BB last night, 6 "halfsies" and 2 "no ideas". I'm kinda curious to see how same-day studying works out: I rarely look at material the day of the exam. Somewhere along the way, I got the idea that sleeping on studied material makes it stick better. Any scientific basis for that, anyone?
Today I have to finish my kinship chart for Anthro. Spent over an hour on the phone with Mom & Dad trying to get the names of their aunts and uncles and their children. I only have to score 5 generations and I have 2 second cousins who have children so I technically only need to go back as far as my grandparents. Which is a good thing. The chart I was making based on the info I got from the parents on Friday spanned about 8 pieces of 8.5X11 paper taped end-to-end. Messy.
Wednesday is my midterm for Semantics. Got the study guide on Friday. Haven't had time to look at it. That should be my main task on Tuesday.

Same-day study... hmmm...
What my piano teacher always said was not to practice on the day of a performance. I found this good advice, as practicing on performance day won't really make you learn the piece any better (you've had enough time for that) but it WILL make you more nervous as to whether or not you'll make it.
This advice could of course be tricky to follow if you're a concert pianist and perform on most days of the year, but then when you've reached that level you don't need much practice and you're not likely to be tripped up by it if it takes place on performance day.
PS here, have some chocolate.
