It’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
– Norm Petersen

All right, brain, I don’t like you and you don’t like me – so let’s just do this and I’ll get back to killing you with beer.
– Homer Simpson, før eksamen

Editors note: Siden itsnotlearning.com ble opprettet og brukt mens jeg studerte på HIST AITEL. Bloggmotoren fra den gang begynner å bli ustabil, så jeg har startet å flytte deler av arkivet over hit. En god del av vitsene er interne, men de har en viss nostalgisk verdi å jeg syns det var for ille å bare slette hele greia.

Navnet itsnotlearning stammer selvsagt fra et visst øvingshåndteringssystem med et lignende navn. Det var ikke akkurat stabilt på den tiden, og etter det jeg har hørt så spiser det fortsatt øvinger med stor appetitt.

Når du har fått nok og trenger en pause i studiene.

En oppsummering av forsøk på å definere begrepet It’s NOT learning.

It’s NOT learning:

  • when it’s boring
  • when it’s not working
  • when it’s crap
  • when word fails
  • when you excpect efficency, and get lagtime
  • when you are getting more and more confused
  • when you have a bad day
  • when your tired of waiting
  • when youre already late with the last exercise
  • when you miss an excam because of contradictory information about where you are supposed to attend it…
