Jeremy is kinda hard to mistake for anyone else

space nerd i am way too observant; it gets annoying; I have a photographic memory. In other words, I have a brain of useless information. It's definetly not all it's cracked up to be.

My memory is mostly photographic i just ignore it.

Seriously though, i study for tests by memorizing where on the page of notes the information was. Or what the diagrams looked like in the book. Works pretty well.

i do that too. im a kinesthetic learner and that doesnt work too well in schools. so instead, i just memorize the page and then if worse comes to worse...just tell the teacher, i studied so hard. i remember it was on the bottom of page 300 and it starts with a t. and its hyphenated. and then they feel badly and give you at least partial credit, if not the answer.

...I wish I had a photographic memory....

believe me Christian you really don't want one. I can remember all of my history books word for word from the past 2 years. However, I cannot tell you the order of the sentences/paragraphs. I remember everything but I can't remember the order. It stinks!!!
The other bad part of it is remembering things that you have read that you do not want or need to remember

Yeah, i have some images in my head that i'd love to forget. Sadly, they're extremly vivid.

I hear you... I am also a kinaesthetic learner with a photographic memory. The 'bottom of page 300, begins with a T...' story is all too familiar. It works great for open-book exams though. I have been thankful that my photographic memory isn't as vivid as some, for I can purge things out of my mind after about a year or two, although some memories last a lot longer.

It probably explains why I love photography and pictures so much. When I see a picture of something, my brain recognises it instantly, and begins a 'film' of sorts from the event I see in the picture.

As for kinaesthetic learning styles... going to a small-town school helps. With classes of 20 pupils or less it is really easy to do a lot of hands-on activities and experiments. Also, technical schools are far better at explaining things with interactivities than university ever was.

Something to consider when choosing schools... Finding the balance between your learning style and their teaching style - it is more difficult than some may think.

For those of you who might see me in previous pictures, my hair is not short anymore, it is down to my middle back - I look like a girl - hooray! (The short hair was due to an accident at the salon, I was terribly upset!)

I went to camp with you!

Really?? We had a girl named Erin in October 1999, was that you?? I have been trying to contact so many people from my time at camp so this would be absolutely amazing if it were you!
