Passion, again.

I have a feeling this entry is going to turn into a Science-Language/passion debate pretty much like the previous one, but I'm going with it anyway.

During our psychology of learning and education tutorial this week, we were given a test to find out our learning styles. I wouldn't say it was really accurate or whatnot for myself(just because I'm weird like that and not many tests can actually work well on me), but I definitely noticed something. Something that's probably actually very simple, but I'm admitting that I did not notice it before this.

I've always thought that I'm very, extremely picky and sensitive about the place I choose to work(or study- they both mean the same in this entry). I can't seem to do work anywhere else aside from home. Many people need quiet places, so they work in the library. But for me, the environment makes a huge difference. If it's not a place where I often study/do work, I won't be able to get any work done there even if it is quiet.

studying.

Even at home, I usually work in the study room, or in my bedroom. If I were to work in the living hall(even with the TV switched off), in my brother's room, on his study table, or just anywhere else at home, it's not going to work. Our lecturer was shocked at how picky I am with the place I choose to study. A course mate said it would work if I were desperate to get things done. But no - I've been there, tried that, and it didn't work.

I thought, how can I be so insane?!

But then I realised, if I were to do something like writing(not scholarly pieces of course) or reading language related stuff, I can do it any time, anywhere. In the kitchen, in the hall with the TV switched on, in a cafeteria during its busiest hours, in a sports stadium full housed with a roaring crowd - been there, tried that, no problem.

That just means that I'm actually not that particular about the place I choose to work in (one thing's for sure though - excessive heat as perceived by myself is destructive. VERY destructive). Guess it all goes down to how passionate you are I am about that thing you're I'm doing. Passion is everything. If not everything, it must be a huge part of that everything. Says me.
