March 24, 201214 yr 5 years ago there was a guy in class who read the dictionary before going to bed, to extend his vocabulary. :| In class when someone doesn't know an answer to something they always turn to me. It's been like that since I'm little. It can be quite annoying sometimes (I DON'T EVERYTHING DAMN IT! I'M NOT A GENIUS!!:bomb: ). Even more when the teacher just answered the question they ask me :|
March 24, 201214 yr ^ I'm planning to read the dictionary over spring break/the summer. :blank: Why would you make plans to read the dictionary? :blank:
March 24, 201214 yr I think it'd be a better idea just to read different books, by authors of different backgrounds?
March 24, 201214 yr Why would you make plans to read the dictionary? :blank: ... Alex. Seriously. This is ME we're talking about here. I think it'd be a better idea just to read different books, by authors of different backgrounds? Well, it hasn't helped for me, even though I'm a voracious reader. :shrug:
March 24, 201214 yr Author See it would take me a solid 3 days to read the dictionary. I have the Webster's universal college version. :stunned: I think I would enjoy reading the Encyclopedia Britannica. :facepalm:
March 25, 201214 yr See it would take me a solid 3 days to read the dictionary. I have the Webster's universal college version. :stunned: I once read the entire Twilight Saga in one day :blank: Needless to say, that was the only time I read it, and I was extremely bored :facepalm:
March 25, 201214 yr I made my friend love John Green/The Fault in Our Stars. :awesome: :awesome: I'm glad she likes it!
March 25, 201214 yr Well, it hasn't helped for me, even though I'm a voracious reader. :shrug: I sincerely don't know what you could do. What I'm trying to say is that taking up a bunch of 'nonprocessed' info is probably not the best way to actually learn its underlying mechanisms ans properties. It's like knowing by heart a load of formulas that you, however, don't know how to derive, where they come from or what they are for. (Sorry I'm so off-topic.)
