Currently studying for an exam tomorrow, and I now realize why I'm always so sleepy in class: the prof. speaks sooo sloowllyy with pauses - in-between - most words. I can't keep focused because of that; thankfully, he has narrated powerpoints that I can download and watch... at 3x normal speed. Which is nice because a 37 minute video is now 12 minutes, but goddamn it makes classes so rough.

I guess when taking notes, it is beneficial if you manage also to abbreviate and summarise. This is another skill that should be acquired at university.

Truly, and I can do it but it takes time.
