Ok, if he can do it...

Napoleon 'tried to learn English' and I will try to learn Latin (or at least enough of it to pass the bar). I was really hoping that this article would give me some study tips, but I've just realized what I must do. Ignoring everyone else's tips are crucial. I have to just do what I did to get through law school, with some modification for the breadth of this material. OK, back on track, watch out now!

yes, most definitely skip class, to induce as much panic close to exam time as possible. Then study as much as possible, learning everything then so it is fresh in your mind. Eat well, play hard, waste lots of time surfing the internet. Fight with your friends and loved ones. Go in without practicing, so that you are fresh as a pea pod. Sleep lots too.

the key to all that skipping class is mental health. You have to indulge your body and mind when they are tired. Sleep, blow things off to make yourself feel a bit better. Then get back on. Also, make sure you are at least pretending to study 24 hours a day, at some point in there you will actually be studying.

I'm following Meg's tips from now on. I'll call them: "A modern day Word to the Wise"

Happy Latin studying. I just pulled out my Mathematical Physics book, creatively entitled: "Mathematical Physics". I got to get my brain back into shape. If trying to absorb that material doesn't revitalize those, now dormant, neural pathways than nothing will.
