forgot it all...

Ya, its been 2 weeks(?) and i already forgot all the things i studied for the past 4 months. My coworker asked me a few simple accounting questions and im already brain farting on those EBIT and interest coverage ratios. When i read how feds are cutting the rates to boost economy, i forgot how it affects inflation and the AD equation. : ( Maybe i should start level 2 just for the heck of it…

chances are, you do remember the material but since you learned it under duress (meaning: you probably weren’t happy to be studying), your brain is, somewhat “dumbing you down” — i won’t go into the psych mumbo jumbo, but once you stop associating the stuff you learn with pressure and stress, you’ll be surprised at all you know. at any rate, it didn’t just go away…trust me.

I thought i had forgotten a lot of it too. I opened up a couple of pages of my notes and a quick glance let me know that most of the info was still tucked somewhere at the back of my brain.
