Study Phases

These are the stages that I personally believe that a student has at least once in their life.

Phase 1: The Beginning
One of the hardest for students is where we need to sit down before the notes. At this difficult situation we considered two options:
           Option a – I do. Today I am going! (Good start, do not shame that is so easy as to say it) 
           Option b – Uhmmm… if the total for the remainder of that afternoon and I am so I do nothing. I said! I do not do anything today, but tomorrow I go. ¡Fixed! (Option not uncommon)

Phase 2: Concentration
Once you are ready to study, a minimum concentration is essential. This concentration is inversely proportional to what the subject is heavy. Encounter great difficulties. Senses such as hearing is extraordinarily acute, allowing the TV to hear the neighbor, or detect a mosquito flying over the room, events that undoubtedly have much more interest in our notes.

Phase 3: Examination of records
When we began to study, first of all check the quality of the notes. Thus, at the last minute we realized that we are missing half the days or the owner of the notes that we are copying the curious habit of speed down the sheets and the sides, so that your photocopies not many data and results, and are being blurred, thus developing a new activity: cryptography.

Phase 4: Despair
When, after half an hour to solve a problem, check that your solution is far from match of the notes, despair is the most frequent. May be due to two factors: 
          a – you’ve screwed up (very likely). You must repeat the problem. 
          b – who has been wrong is the teacher (usually happens too). Procedure to follow: you insult aloud. The desperation continues, because you never know if it is really wrong, and if so, if your solution is correct.

Phase 5: Breakout
Frequently phrases:
- Who sent me to me to consider this career?
- If these notes that I have is impossible to study.
- Not me.

Phase 6: Examination of conscience and repentance
When you’re really suffering by having to study in summer or have you to look at the last minute huge tons of notes, remember all those times you were  quietly. Most common phrases:
- If I’m stupid…
- I was always going well.
- I shit myself in my past.

Phase 7: Incursions philosophical and metaphysical
With the passage of time tends to take a more reflexive part of our being, which often indicates serious psychological disturbances. Common thoughts:
“Why in the life we have to suffer like this?”
“Whence comes,” or by Hache be “?”
“Why tight stronger buttons on the remote when it has few batteries ?…”
“I would like to be reincarnated in a dog… is life…”

Phase 8: Escape from reality
One dreams of being 1,000 miles away, if possible in another era, and if on another planet better, which shows the serious consequences that entails for the brain study.

Phase 9: Abandonment
And it’s time of abandonment. Implacable enemies of the student (sleep, boredom, hunger…) have made a dent in this and decides not to continue. Abandonment occurs in four stages:
1 – Declaration of Principles: “I am a bit fed up with…”
2 – The approach of excuses: “It is okay for today… If total, an extra hour to study today, I will not be adopted”
3 – Evaluation of performance: “Of the 2 subjects who had intended to study this afternoon I looked half”
4 – Set goals: “I get up before morning and study longer.”
