Addendum to WTF CR = Death (below)

As per my post below here is an addendum - I just watched the first 10 slides of the CR 2 lesson and already realize where I made my mistakes...  I was focusing on the content within these more advanced sections rather than the LOGIC behind them...  I threw the whole SWIMMER categorization out the window.  This is my own fault and oversight...

so what I've done is put SWIMMER on my wall and I'm going to make notecards with each component.  I will NOT tackle CR again until I have these memorized!

So when I'm laying in bed watching Hulu or Studying or just playing around on the internet this is what I stare at in front of me on the wall on three big posterboards.

The SWIMMER poster was just added tonight after my little hissy fit haha... the other two have been up there for a while...

Thanks for bearing with me through my little hissy fit bout!  Back to the CR 2 Lesson.. hahaha...

WTF CR = Death

This is going to be a short post because it was not planned as I had another topic planned for tomorrow... but I just got incredibly frustrated going over the CR questions in the Veritas CR 2 book.

Last night I did a bunch of problems.  Probably like 20 problems but I did not look at the answers until tonight.  I figure I do the problems one night and then the next night I go over the answers and then read the explanations on the ones I got right.  Well this strategy didn't turn out to be the best vote of confidence.

I got so many wrong that I simply closed the book and pushed it off my bed... LITERALLY... I know it may seem dramatic but I was just so pissed.  I probably got 16/20 incorrect.  When I went through the answers.. of course they made sense...except for one of them but I can just post that on BTG and get the reasoning behind it.

I'm just very pissed right now so I had to come and vent...  in this short amount of time I do feel slightly better...  so now I need a plan of action.. next step = watch the Veritas Critical Reasoning lesson.  I also think that while I think studying late at night is a good option for me... maybe I'll try 8pm(ish).

Crap!  I just realized that tomorrow I have my stats class, so it looks like I'll be studying around 10pm tomorrow...AND I just realized that it's 12:45 so I probably won't get through much of the CR lesson.

::sigh::  I'm all over the place... how did this happen?
