I'm being random right here, but I'm curious, has this happened to anyone here? xD I woke...

I have had that, unfortunately it was Carpal Tunnel Syndrome though, and I had to go through three surgeries to release the pressure on my nerves. (Imagine having that feeling coming and going day and night for months - but worse at night) Glad you are okay, you probably pinched the nerve a bit while sleeping.

Ouch, sure sucks :(. At least it's totally fixed now?

I freaked out because I had no idea that this could happen aha. I thought that maybe I actually managed to kill it (lol) but then it started to slowly come back. But it ended up being more silly and an interesting experience than anything lol.

I should really start to take an interest in medicine or something, I didn't even know about stretch marks until I got them recently from quick weight gain. Like what the hell. Can't I learn about those things before I get it? What about when I'll get something much more serious?

I'm starting to get a bit paranoid each time something like that, totally unexpected happens lol. Why's school not keeping up with the new realities... We're past the point where learning the names of rock types is of most significance ._.

It's mostly fixed - I still have numb episodes, but not on the same scale.
I find that experience is a greater teacher than just reading about it. But we need a wide base of basic knowledge to help understand new things, so learning the names of rocks and such is never a waste of time, who knows when you will need it.

Mmmh, maybe. But being a visual learner, school hasn't done much for my basic knowledge. I had to study-dump all the time because I wasted so much time in class and had to study everything myself at home, but there is only so much time in a day after the whole "sit in class and try to listen". Lectures are a waste on me, I think in pictures, and unless it's practical/actually interesting my brain just dishes it out as soon as it gets the chance.

Of course, I don't know the names of the types of rocks. I only know I studied it at one point, as it is with most of my high school years xD. And I got extremely good grades, only thanks to my last minute studying skills.

I got 95% in my last history class. I don't even know the years the two world wars started. I just figured out what the teacher wanted me to throw at his tests and memorized all of it only hours before by reading and reciting my notes in a certain order. Basically I recalled where on my sheet note I put each concepts and was able to see what I should write that way. And even then, I had trouble sometimes, especially for naming things, as well I have to translate my "pictures" in "words", I don't think firstly in words, so if it's something that wasn't on my sheet...

It's good for auditory-sequential learners. My boyfriend is basically an encyclopedia on two legs when it comes to random science anatomy etc. facts as he just remembers everything he hears basically. He was my saving grace in my last school years actually, as after each lectures I was like "so, how do I do that? 8)". Even when I actually listened...

But for others... An utter waste of time.

The worst is that they all have the same setting. How am I supposed to remember anything when I have no way of figuring out a visual difference, as a 100% visual-spatial learner is beyond me. I'd remember better if the walls changed colors each class. I could be like "oh, I remember that was when the class was red that we saw that, and that as well, so they're related" etc. LOL.

The struggle :P

That moment on a test, when you remember where on a page a piece of info was, but not WHAT it is :'D (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
