Section 7-3: Ha. Haha. Hahahahaha.

As previously discussed I like to use humor to bring in my focus while working on complex tasks such as exams or papers... as you may have already noticed a little bit of in the writings thus far. I don't know if what I am about to explain to you would be considered a genetic trait or something that has slowly and personally developed. I have a very unique method of encoding semantic memory into the long term, I use humor when encoding memory.

Everything is easier to remember with the power of N2O!

One of the most prominent examples of this is the 0% I "achieved" while writing my Social-8 notes. In my Social-8 class we were supposed to submit our own created notes for review after we wrote a text on the paired subject. In a test on which I received 100% my grade for the paired notes was 0%. It wasn't that I hadn't submitted notes, so why the disparity?

My notes made absolutely no sense to anyone that read them except for myself. If you pair this with the fact that I was a junior high student with a junior high sense of humor, my notes looked something along the lines of "In Soviet Russia: Iron man did battle with a Jew and won"... I will give you 10 internet-points* if you know what I am referring to in that sentence.

Here is a hint.

*internet-points are not a real thing and may not be redeemed for any physical reward.

"In the Russian elections during the Industrial revolution Joseph Stalin went to the polls against Leon Trotsky, a Jewish russian intellectual, and won by a landslide, Stalin was accused of rigging the polls but would never face any trials or charges in this regard, Stalin was also known as the man of steel due to the way he pushed ahead the Industrial revolution in Russia." Yes, that small sentence above actually contains all of the information prior in it for myself. It still does to this day, I wrote that in Grade 8 which for me was over a decade ago now.

I eventually had to plead my case to my instructor, and thankfully due to my consistently high marks when facing testing and my explanation of my absurd defining and phrasing contained within my notes I was eventually given a pass on these notes... despite their complete lack of helpfulness to anyone who did not have their brain wired exactly as my own was.
