^^ Ephram/Amy were present and accounted for only Ephram didn't wear any gloves and only wore a very thin jacket so he was eventually rushed to the hospital due to severe frostbite and the beginning signs of pneumonia.
Yes, this is why I like winter in Minnesota. You need storms, you need lots of snow to produce outdoor rinks all over the place. They are everywhere in the land of 10,000 lakes. So you need tons of snow, and the cold, to maintain. TFTNT! |

Thanks for the new thread!
I remember when watching it I was wondering why the hell Ephram is without gloves and summer jacket . Michelle sounds like you had lots of fun! Yesterday I continued to read the book. . I'm on page 265. It would have been faster, but the book is rather old - for Android 4 and right now it's Android 6 and the examples needs some tweaking to make them work. And I had to browse in google for the answers. However I managed to do my first working mobile application. Actually I managed to do two. The first one is simple one called Hello Android . It basically prints "Hello Android" on your screen. The second I did is a simple application that could turn on/off your ringer by clicking on button. I had problems with the second one because I couldn't make it work as widget (widgets are like background tasks that run on your home screen). I made another widget though so I guess there is something with this one that didn't want to work. Now I'm doing TaskReminder application. We will see how this would work. __________________

If it's about studying I remember it all. At first my strategy included the hearing part as well. I had to read aloud all the material so that I could remember it. However at some point this put strain on my voice and I got tired easily. Plus when you live in the dorms with two other people and you all have exams in the same month, it's not very possible to read aloud. So I taught myself to use to greater extent my visual memory. I still remember my math exam that I took after 7th grade. Once I got out I told my mother that I had done everything. I was completely confident that what I did was right . The funny part was that both of the geometry problems were somewhat reminding me of tasks I solved in the past. The first one was reverse to a problem I had solved. Basically what was given in the problem in the exam was what I was trying to prove in the other task. And what was given in the other task was what I was trying to prove in this one. So I closed my eyes and knew tha this problem was the last one in the chapter, on the left page in the book in the middle of the page. Now generally speaking no one would think that this matters, but I have also great associative memory and if I can connect the dots like that the ideas come to my head and my Intuition guides me. So I started remembering this and ended up having the drawings associated with this task in my head. Then I remembered that I did some additional stuff to solve the problem and I did it in the exam and voila. I had it. Btw I was right. I needed like few minutes to find it there and it was indeed there. The second problem wasn't that straight. With my Intuition I have done half of the work, when I remembered about a math test I had solved in the past and there I had to do some additional stuff in the drawing as well. So I was sitting there like 5 minutes and this thought was constantly in my head - that I had to do this. So I did this because I was like "There is nothing to lose". And suddenly I had the answer. I gotta be honest and say that I had 6 (A) in that exam thanks to my Intuition. My logical thinking was "I can't do it" for both geometry tasks, but my teacher had taught me to write everything I can think of if I can't solve it because this might give me points. Well I started thinking and somehow I ended up with two completely solved tasks. Though I needed hours to remember what I did there and explain it to my teacher . It's why I am so fascinated with the brains working because right there in this exam I just realized how everything was so connected. How you can combine Intuition, Experience, visual and associative memory to bring something together. It was excilarating. One of the best days in my life. I swear. When I got out and my mother asked me how it went I was like "I did it". And I knew that I did it. The kids around were crying because it was so difficult and I was so proud of myself for doing it.

Something is not working in the last example though so I will have to carefully check the code (and this time it's a lot) to see why it's not working. And I have 80 pages to read, but I still think that I could manage to finish the book by the end of the weekend. Quote:

For example if I had geometry problem to solve I would start with drawing which is normal. I would use all sort of different colors marking stuff there. There were cases where I would look at the drawing for like 20/30 minutes . At this moment I knew that I had to make a new one and start fresh. I didn't like doing sports and playing with kids outside so I spent most of my time as a kid studying and in most cases this meant solving math problems. Like 3 hours of my day were spent solving math problems. In the weekend it was even more. I think that math is the thing that taught me everything I know . I don't regret going there to be honest.

At least after a couple years he got a bit smarter and was wearing a hat and gloves when they all ditched school: But then again Ephram and Amy left early to probably go make out and do some other stuff, lol, but maybe Ephram had anxiety due to being in the cold and had to get out of there due to suffering the effects years before. |
