DAY 27- 26 DAYS OF LISTENING
MISSED ONE DAY OF LISTENING
9 hours listening trickling stream while sleeping
1.5 hours listening trickling stream while awake
Total listening time 10.5 hours
Well can't report nothing exciting today; haven't watched the photoshop tutorials even though I got 7 or 8 vids remaining; I guess I am just being lazy or "bored"....tonight instead I started trying to watch a statistics course on youtube from a college lecture; specifically looking for one that matches to my course I failed back to back during my undergrad years.....tried to even see if my university had one uploaded on the internet. No luck with that. Tried to experiment tonight while listening to trickling stream to see how much I can 'understand' the lecture while the instructor was explaining the course.....
I think I am beginning to realize that you can't just watch a vid on a subject matter you hardly no about and expect to 'understand' it even if the instructor is talking fast.....so I came up with an idea (possibly due to MLS 5g)? that for instance if I am watching a college lecture on youtube, pretend I am in the class and actively get involved with a pen and notebook and when an important keyword comes up or is being explained then just jot it down in a way that will help you recall the key words (in my own creative methodology to recall the points).
I wonder if this is how students with good grades strategize their approach? Donno if MLS is making me approach learning in different ways that fits my style (might be different from person to person) but this is how I'd learn something; creative visualizations on key points. Just by watching new things I dont know about and how fast the explainer talks wont really help much if you are just learning the topic as for the first time;
I can testify this much that even little bits and pieces of lectures I listen to online a few key points do "stick" like literally if not everything; my brain just tells me to think on the fly to find a way to quickly somehow recall the important details as the speaker speaks; don't know if it is MLS again that is making me learn this way; I mean heck if I knew this back during my undergrad years, I bet you I wouldve came out in flying colors that I didnt have to go to some stupid online college and spend 7 total years finishing an undergrad degree.
Well the vivid dreams have stopped unfortunately; I bet you it was the stereo system I was listening on....If I wasnt such a cheapskate (lol) I wouldve just kept the stereo system that I guess I felt was working on me (both with bluetooth) and the vivid dreaming.
I am now playing the subs with just speakers that you use a jack to stick into your laptop or smartphone to play the music....
Today I watched Rocky I. Yeah the old school movie.....just out of the blue I felt like wanting to see it and I am not even a big fan of boxing; started watching it yesterday and finished it today; pretty decent movie; I think I actually watched it tonight like ever in my life.
The owner of the preschool actually called me earlier this week (back on Monday) and I am actually afraid of picking up the phone and talking to someone in real time cuz I have social anxiety; (referring to superiors) friends I can do easily; so I left her a voicemail tonight to let her know we are all still good there was no big issues at all; told her she was like family to me I saw her as a 'sister' blabla and let her know that I enjoyed my days being at the preschool; it felt really nice that she left me a voicemail; she really didnt have to since we were only strangers and I was only there as a sub-contractor....but the fact that she did kinda lets me know that she 'cared' so it felt nice.
I am also feeling confident now in my job hunting strategies that I've never considered doing 15 yearrs of my life since I finished HS. It's like I reported I had 4 interviews the first 2 weeks and then 3rd week nothing; this week being the 4th week I have one new phone interview tomorrow and one more developing for next week. Never ever had 6 total interviews within 5 weeks in my lifetime. Oh and I didn't hear back from the girl by email to see if she wanted to go beyond just a business meet up date...oh well; doesnt faze me.
