I did four, just to feel like an overachiever. A little bit.
Which means that I'll probably go up one percentage point every couple of days towards my goal, if I can keep that up. An hour a day works pretty good with my schedule, so it should be doable.
Also made a little bit of a re-discovery. Something I already knew, but it was nice.
The next two chapters of the book I'm reading include a lot of vocabulary that will come in handy on the CISSP, which is the gold-standard certification for cybersecurity at the moment. So I will be needing those words someday.
I didn't want to just read the chapter and let it all fall out of my head, so I thought, "Hey, why not get some 3x5s and use them for studying?"
Then I thought again, and decided that it's time for something a little higher-tech than that. If I'm going into computer science, I'll need to get friendly with computer tools anyway - why not online 3x5 cards.
I went to quizlet.com.
I'd used them before, when I was studying for the A+ certification I never got, because it bored me to death, but they're all upgraded now, and nicer. Transferred the vocabulary into the computer and voila!
Lots of flash cards I can run through periodically when those words threaten to fall back out of my ears. Maybe I'll remember them a little longer.
For those non-math-minded, this website's also good for making goals, or affirmations, or for studying any subject, really. Just a handy learning tip for anyone else who might need it.
