9:07...
I'm coming off a cold...
It's cool though. It's not too bad.
I should eat some fruit full of vitamin C! And maybe have some Echinecea.
I was thinking of going to the library to study.
It opens at 9:30... I could also invite my friends from Capstone 1. :) Then we could review each others work!
I couldn't find the echinecea, but to combat my cold (and I did so effectively here's what I did!):
Woke up, felt sick a bit (even though I had brushed my teeth <-- generally that's enough for me to hold back cold symptoms), Then I drank some water (to keep myself hydrated), Wore warm clothes, ate some almonds (i.e. a source of selenium) that were grounded up in my nut grinder (and added a multivitamin, vitamin d, and vitamin b12), and then I just slept, because my body wanted to sleep (I literally listened to my body.)
Okay *Yawn* before I start studying, I grabbed my chickpeas which were submerged in water, drained them, and put them on a tray and placed that tray in the oven. This way they can breathe, and SPROUT in the dark. Apparently beans are supposed to sprout in the dark. Sprouts are healthy (read this article to see why).
Now I'm going to use my polyphasic sleeping pattern technique to rake in some hours upon hours of studying :)
Just finished my first day 3 case...................................................................................................................
......................................................................................................................................................................
........................ you know why there's a bunch of periods? BECAUSE THIS PROCESS IS LONG! Oh man!!!!
So I just finished a case I've never done before. It took me somewhere from 3-4 hours to do a supposedly 75 minute case... I'm really thorough so I think I did everything they asked for and more. But I'm pretty sure what I did would be expected. Here's the kicker:
You're supposed to debrief after you write these things. So after my 4 hours of effort. I need to add more effort. And this is just a day 3 case!!! These are like the mini-cases! Ohhh man, this is gonna be an intense Capstone 2.
Hey, I have noooo problem with getting good at things. I love art. When I used to paint, draw, sculpt, I understood good art takes time. And I suppose there is an art to getting good at case writing. That being said, I'm going to put in the extra time... But wow. I'm not retarded or anything. At least, that's what my special ed teacher says. Kidding! This is my first attempt at a case alone in a while. For capstone 1, I had to do my part of a case, and I generally took really long with just parts. But I'm going to have to get better at getting faster.
I actually have a plan for getting faster. I'm going to go through all these cases given to me by CPA 20 times. They give us about 10 pieces of content, so I think it's fair to say that everyone will go through each case 10 times.
Alright, so I'm gonna have some fish oil to help me remember all this stuff. And then I'll start debriefing. Still in disbelief that I have to continuously study for so long to actually get good at this.
When I heavily trained for breakdancing before, I would train the entire day: jogging, stretching, practicing moves, weight training, eating and sleeping. I can't wait to do that again :) I'm going to try and treat this the same way as I would with my breakdancing.
I wonder why I feel so full??? I ate two skewers of bbq'd chicken (breast) with roasted: peppers, onions, and mushrooms in the morning. Those same skewers were placed in a bowl and then I poured water on it and heated it up for 2.5 minutes in the microwave. Then I ate some of my homemade hummus and rye bread. I also ate almonds + multivitamin + vitamin b12 + vitamin d. Yeah, I'm not even hungry! I really enjoy this type of breakfast I guess. LOL it's a magical breakfast = roasted onions on the skewer, raw garlic and raw ginger in my hummus, sprouts used to make the hummus. <-- those are magic ingredients my friends, magic. :)
Okay, time to go complete debriefing. Ttyl blog & peeps!...
Still haven't started debriefing. :S It's 8:15 PM. I printed out all the debriefing materials and then I stapled them together. Took about 20 minutes to write out my method of debriefing. I may edit it in the future. I'm going to take a very short break for food, and then I'll start debriefing. I Knooooow you're supposed to debrief after you're done 1 case, but I really want to eat. And this is the first day I'm doing a case, so everything's not going how it's supposed to go the first day.
Peace! ttyl.
It's 10:06 PM, I've just been eating and watching one of my favorite animes (One Piece)
Last thing I did after I was watching anime and eating was:
Play one of my favorite online games: Agar.io
Here's a screenshot of me playing the game
This is the screen you see after you die.
I like playing this game because it reminds me of the idea that every "Game" we play in life has best practices. Whether it be Agar.io or studying to ace an exam, there is a general set of rules that leads one to success.
When I died here, it was because of lag! I actually have a nice set of subconscious rules that I follow that generally lead me to success in the game. But alas, sometimes there are just factors that I can't control. And it's the same in life. When I'm studying for the CFE, I basically can't control outside factors every single time I study. There are also some internal factors I can't always control. The need for food, the need to associate with other people, the need for love, and so on and so forth.
But there are techniques to mitigate, reduce, and eliminate the risks of lag or other relatively uncontrollable factors. For lag, I like to bring my laptop close to the router. That way I get a better connection and I can generally win. Watch. I'll demonstrate my technique in action. Here are the results of applying my technique:
Haha. I played that game for a good 40 minutes :P And look, I was a top scorer for nearly the entire time! So, yeah, truly proof that we need to solve the problems that limit us from applying our best practices. Now... It's 11:17 PM what to do, what to do. I'd like to debrief... But what is holding me back? Something... Something deep within my soul. I probably have to poop. That's the solution to all problems isn't it? Don't be shy, you know you love my potty humour. Just kidding, just kidding. Okay, I'm going to go figure out what's holding me back. Maybe I need to rest. Maybe I need a word with someone <3... Maybe I don't! I just need to solve my bottleneck and get back to applying best practices! :)
