The best (and worst) way to study

Taking my last final of the semester tomorrow.  (Of course, it is in that wonderful Vocational Behavior class).  I have a stack of 75 or so notecards that I made that I am trying to memorize.  But I have been having a really difficult time focusing this week.

This afternoon I decided to try a little experiment to do something with my energy and unfocused-ness.  I put my iPod into the speakers in our living room and picked the most upbeat dancing songs I could find.  I figured maybe if I was moving around (i.e., dancing) while trying to study it might help me out.

I think it did at first, but then it gradually became me just wanting to dance and not study.  So then I thought maybe I could try a thing where I sit on the couch, and I get to dance one song for every 5 notecards I learned.  That didn’t last that long either.  So then I thought maybe I would just dance until I got too tired to continue.  That sounds good in theory, except that the tiredness didn’t really happen…
