Archie, how many pages do you need to memorize? And in what time frame?
Archie Moses

2 pages, but from a school textbook so it's a hefty amount (14 paragraphs +). I have until Friday morning @ 9. She gave us a week to memorize it.
You know what? You're right. That was low and I apologize. Do you want me to edit the post?
You're ****ed.

After telling her that this is a ridiculous assignment, maybe try memorizing the first word of each of the 14 paragraphs. In order. Then, move on to memorizing the first sentence of each paragraph. Again, in order. Then your brain will fill in 80% of the rest of the paragraph on its own (you'll need to memorize key/interesting words in each paragraph to complete the remaining 20%). In other words, start small then move up...all in order of appearance in the text.

I seriously have Vinylone on one shoulder telling me I'm going to fail miserably and KEK on the other telling me to own that ****. Seriously, I can't decide which one to listen to.
Reverse psychology you moran. You should have strived harder once VINYLONE told you that you were going to FAIL. That blowhard would love to see you fail.

Another tip is to NOT sit down and expect to memorize the whole 14 paragraphs in one massive 6-hour cramming session. Work for a half hour, take a 5 or 6 minute break. Work again, take a break. Reward yourself with 10 minutes/hour and stop totally after 3 hours. Take a 2 hour break then start again.
Keep the TV off. Music is fine, but preferably something you don't know the tune/lyrics of. Avoid facebook/checking emails/and *sigh* posting on JF.

sort of amplifying on what trout said, it might help if you think of it as sort of a dialogue, if that's possible
and chemdude has a good idea above, though I would rewrite the first couple lines from each paragraph plus key words and memorize that - - as he said, your brain will sort of fill in what's missing

Aren't you guys about 1 week into the new semester? And they are already pulling the ******** out? Do you have to take this class?

Yes. It's supposedly the hardest class in the department. Some say it's the hardest class in the school.
