Study Music

I decided to put the Roth & Smith (2008) study to the test...I have been listening to classical music throughout the ENTIRE time I have been studying for our first exam. I haven't taken the test yet, so I don't know what the results will be in terms of my grade. But I have noticed myself going for much longer stretches of productive study time than usual before I have to take a break! And this blog post being one of those breaks, I had better get back to it. Good luck on the test everyone!

PS The Antonio Vivaldi station on Pandora has been suiting my studying needs quite nicely. I would highly recommend it to anyone who finds him/herself struggling to concentrate.

PPS I officially reclaim my praise of Julie and Julia. Another few chapters after my post about it last week, I finally had to put the book down for good...as it went on, it got more and more explicit, more and more crude, more and more bad language-y. A book has to be pretty negative for me to actually stop reading it, especially when I'm already halfway through. So as much as I was enjoying it, I'm sorry to say I would definitely discourage anyone who doesn't want their mind tarnished by inappropriate images and language from reading it.
