Learning the same thing over and over again can be helpful and exciting.

Ever since starting my classes for this semester, I seem to be learning almost the same exact thing in each and every one. THE BRAIN. It's taking over allllll of them. Yes, I know I am partially to blame for this since I decided to become an NBB major, aka Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology, but still. How many times do I have to learn about the structure of a neuron. Come on guys.

I was recently venting about this to one of my friends and he told me that repetition actually is a key to learning. It's not that I haven't heard this before, but I guess I have never really taken it to heart. Since I am technically learning the same thing in about five out of my six classes, I am getting the information so much more clearly and studying ends up being a breeze. So yay for pros to the whole situation. I used to think that life was monotonous, and that everyday just brought the same old same old. I could say that now, but I won't. Only because it actually doesn't feel that way. I am enjoying learning this same stuff over and over again because GUESS WHAT....big SHOCKER.....I actually ENJOY it. Hip hip hooray.

Like I said yesterday. I know what I like......and I LIKE what I am learning. So yes, my friend was right to say that repetition is a key to learning. BUT......LOVING what you're learning is an important aspect of it. Without loving what you are learning, there would be no drive to hear about something over and over again. But who cares to hear it again when you like it?

I guess it's kind of like a crush. You love seeing that person over and over and over because you always feel so good when you see them. They make you happy. You love studying every little thing about them. You love learning what makes them who they are. You just love it.

I guess, actually, I am learning about the same thing in all my classes, as well as out of them. :)

Goodnight!
