study notes

I've been working on study notes, in preparation for my first exam in a Very Long Time.

Study notes bring out a very ... well ... distinctive part of my personality. I hold a belief, very dear to my heart, that all information can be distilled down to an organized, bulleted list, with appropriate titles and subtitles. If any knowledge can't be recorded in this way, it isn't worth knowing.

That's what I believe.

Clearly I'm not an artist.

And there is a tremendous - nay, a WHOLLY SATISFYING - sense of accomplishment in taking a semester's worth of scribbled notes, and transforming them into a 12-font collection of precisely ordered bits of knowledge.

Here's to being a nerd.
