Just keep at it...You just have to get used to it. When I first started pre-med it was rough...but after a couple of quarters of friday night studying and two lab classes I got used to it. You can do a lot more than you think when you put your mind to it. But I will admit my cars got neglected while I was in school

After that I suspended it so I could paint the whole dash at once and did broad sweeps with the paint from one side to the other. I did about 6 coats in about an hour. then I let it dry. Then I wet sanded. Cleaned and recoated. Then wet sanded cleaned and put back in the car. I'll post pictures tomorrow. I spend like 30 min just looking over every inch of the dash in the sunlight to make sure i didn't miss any spots. Oh...and I used the Dupli-Color Vinyl and Fabric Flat Black paint...

wow mark....look like you did a better job then i did. my dash is ok. it's just the door panel that is kind of come off from tape. i have to redo them again next week. guess that teach me for rushing with it.

davis...i think i know where you spend most of your time on. get off the mr2board and spend it on homework.

[Mark_Dorman]

Hey Davis...one thing that helped me a lot was going places to study. I used to go to starbuck and barns & noble to study all the time. It's easier because you don't have any of the stuff that's at home to distract yourself with. Plus caffeine on tap is never a bad thing.

Best strategy is to set a goal for when you go and don't leave till you reach it

I could never go places to study not even the library. I usually lock myself in my room and finish everything then.

[mr.asian.m2]

i agree with mixxer. starbuck and places like that. have too many cute girls. i spend half my time there lookin at girls..

[Mark_Dorman]

I always found it easier to focus there cause there was so many distractions you had to block them all out. When I'm at home it's so quiet I look for distractions ...plus the internet and TV are too tempting...

school is so boring

[o6spdracer]

Its discipline. You can study anywhere as long as you know you have to get it done. I was lucky enough to be able to study while I was at work. Mixxer is right 21 units, work full time, etc. is not as hard as most people would think. Just have to prioritize and use your time efficiently.

[Mark_Dorman]

School is only boring if you don't like what you're studying...

[masagsxr]

Don't know how you block them cute ladies Mr. Dorman... I definitely couldn't be able to... Staying home to study and get it done works for me or stay in school while waiting for the next class.

well you're taking 19... i'm taking 16 and having a hard time already =( think i digged myself a ditch when i took acct201 and phys201 at the same time just got my tests back.... and not happy =( . true i think at home i have too many distractions. i use to go to starbucks, and barnes and nobles with friends to study, last year when i was in HS. but since then.... i got no one =( just me and my car

[masagsxr]
