I'm getting comfortable with this…
I'm getting comfortable with this method. I've been doing the MB for about a month and it takes getting used to, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. I'm retired, so as you can imagine, I'm used to the more conventional teaching methods. This method has forced me to pull from creativity that I didn't think I had. It took me a while to think of scenes that didn't necessarily make sense in real life, but as long as it helped me to remember the character, I could use it. When I look at a character and think of the scene that pertains to that character, everything clicks! What I'm concerned about is how much I can store in my old brain and can I remember at least 3,000 characters continuing with this method? I hope that my brain can process these characters faster than it's currently doing. Sometimes I'll stare at the character and think, 'ok, that's the distorted hand so that's the stadium hand and the other part is daybreak -- that's my alarm clock and Darrell was at Gary's house at the entrance. Oh, yes, Dan1, meaning undertaking because he had a difficult task waking up my brother who's always a bear to wake up!' For xi2-practice, I have Shirley Temple teaching her pet scorpion (Scorpie) how to pick up ice cubes with its pincers. She tells him that practice makes perfect! I didn't think I would enjoy the method as much as I do so that's a plus! I'm not ready yet to give this method 5 stars because it's too early in the process and I hope I can retain what I've learned, but I feel that I'm off to a good start.
