Wow it’s been a hot minute since I posted but since then I’ve finished reading this book for the third time and I’m officially deceased!!! I think gatsby is one of those books where you can read it multiple times and notice something different each time which is great because it’s assigned for school so often lol

It’s 2020 and I feel conflicted. Our world is in turmoil, the planet itself and the people within it are hurting. I’m also incredibly overwhelmed - in the midst of full time study and full time work while everybody else is on holiday or the couch 😅 that said, I’ve got this!

How to Study Like a Harvard Student

Taken from Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld, daughter of the Tiger Mother

Preliminary Steps 1. Choose classes that interest you. That way studying doesn’t feel like slave labor. If you don’t want to learn, then I can’t help you. 2. Make some friends. See steps 12, 13, 23, 24. General Principles 3. Study less, but study better. 4. Avoid Autopilot Brain at all costs. 5. Vague is bad. Vague is a waste of your time. 6. Write it down. 7. Suck it up, buckle down, get it done. Plan of Attack Phase I: Class 8. Show up. Everything will make a lot more sense that way, and you will save yourself a lot of time in the long run. 9. Take notes by hand. I don’t know the science behind it, but doing anything by hand is a way of carving it into your memory. Also, if you get bored you will doodle, which is still a thousand times better than ending up on stumbleupon or something. Phase II: Study Time 10. Get out of the library. The sheer fact of being in a library doesn’t fill you with knowledge. Eight hours of Facebooking in the library is still eight hours of Facebooking. Also, people who bring food and blankets to the library and just stay there during finals week start to smell weird. Go home and bathe. You can quiz yourself while you wash your hair. 11. Do a little every day, but don’t let it be your whole day. “This afternoon, I will read a chapter of something and do half a problem set. Then, I will watch an episode of South Park and go to the gym” ALWAYS BEATS “Starting right now, I am going to read as much as I possibly can…oh wow, now it’s midnight, I’m on page five, and my room reeks of ramen and dysfunction.” 12. Give yourself incentive. There’s nothing worse than a gaping abyss of study time. If you know you’re going out in six hours, you’re more likely to get something done. 13. Allow friends to confiscate your phone when they catch you playing Angry Birds. Oh and if you think you need a break, you probably don’t. Phase III: Assignments 14. Stop highlighting. Underlining is supposed to keep you focused, but it’s actually a one-way ticket to Autopilot Brain. You zone out, look down, and suddenly you have five pages of neon green that you don’t remember reading. Write notes in the margins instead. 15. Do all your own work. You get nothing out of copying a problem set. It’s also shady. 16. Read as much as you can. No way around it. Stop trying to cheat with Sparknotes. 17. Be a smart reader, not a robot (lol). Ask yourself: What is the author trying to prove? What is the logical progression of the argument? You can usually answer these questions by reading the introduction and conclusion of every chapter. Then, pick any two examples/anecdotes and commit them to memory (write them down). They will help you reconstruct the author’s argument later on. 18. Don’t read everything, but understand everything that you read. Better to have a deep understanding of a limited amount of material, than to have a vague understanding of an entire course. Once again: Vague is bad. Vague is a waste of your time. 19. Bullet points. For essays, summarizing, everything. Phase IV: Reading Period (Review Week) 20. Once again: do not move into the library. Eat, sleep, and bathe. 21. If you don’t understand it, it will definitely be on the exam. Solution: textbooks; the internet. 22. Do all the practice problems. This one is totally tiger mom. 23. People are often contemptuous of rote learning. Newsflash: even at great intellectual bastions like Harvard, you will be required to memorize formulas, names and dates. To memorize effectively: stop reading your list over and over again. It doesn’t work. Say it out loud, write it down. Remember how you made friends? Have them quiz you, then return the favor. 24. Again with the friends: ask them to listen while you explain a difficult concept to them. This forces you to articulate your understanding. Remember, vague is bad. 25. Go for the big picture. Try to figure out where a specific concept fits into the course as a whole. This will help you tap into Big Themes – every class has Big Themes – which will streamline what you need to know. You can learn a million facts, but until you understand how they fit together, you’re missing the point. Phase V: Exam Day 26. Crush exam. Get A.

GONK!

Nothing like a new planner spead! This one should carry me smoothly in to the new year. The winter is a restful time but I could do with some sunlight so I can get my garden goin.

Here’s something fun. You can love your dog, a type of dog, or a breed while still acknowledging that the genetic behavior patterns bred into their ancestors are something you should be prepared to handle. That’s not a value judgment on the dog. That’s being a good pet owner

Ex: I love huskies. Kestrel cannot go off leash outside our fenced area despite my having trained a recall, because huskies were bred to run for miles and miles and she will TAKE OFF in a way Kiwi the sheltie will not

Bingo.

I love Josie, Josie is also a Labrador x Dachshund mix who will eliminate any bread and rats in her field of vision. She cannot be trusted around anything smaller than a cat or cupboards without child locks. It’s just who she is.

Good post. I think people get in their heads the idea of a “perfectly trained” dog and make the mistake of thinking that looks the same for every breed.

A big one is off-leash training. So many people think that the ultimate sign of a well-trained dog is the ability to work/walk/play off-leash, but like you said, that’s not the case. Sighthounds (like the borzoi) are another example of dogs I wouldn’t take hiking off-leash.

Another one is barking. To many people barking = bad behavior. But for a dog breed bred to hunt or alert (beagles), barking is often natural & desired breed behavior.

Others think patience and calmness are the Highest Training Standard, and then they go and get a terrier, or worse, a herding dog like an Aussie or Border collie (not that herders can’t be patient or calm. they just have soooo much energy & are so intelligent so they need a lot of stimulation).

@ People considering getting a dog, whether adopting or from a breeder:

Dog breeds have been developed (some for centuries & centuries) to do jobs. Not all breeds will fit your needs. In fact, most won’t. There are many, many breeds, and each person/family has a pretty narrow window of what they actually need/want in a dog.

The Golden Standard of a well-trained dog will look different from one breed to the next. You cannot impose your ideal behavior on an animal with decades or centuries of specifically designed behavior opposed to what you want.

If you get a dog with breed traits you don’t like and intend to train them out of the dog, you’re usually fighting a losing battle that sets both you and your dog up for failure, frustration, and stress.

Consider carefully what you want in a dog, and look for breeds appropriate for that.

I’m not saying there’s no way you can make certain breeds work, but it’s something to be carefully and seriously considered. When I was a groomer, the number of people I met that were at their wits end with dogs that didn’t fit their lives, usually herding or hunting dogs (usually Aussies and beagles), and sometimes more aloof dogs that need intense socializing (shibas and chowchows) was mind-boggling.

I KNOW how badly you want that SPECIFIC breed, but ask yourself: Can you make that dog happy? Can it make you happy?
