When you read ahead, how do you decide on a subject?

Lately I've been attempting to do this, but the results have been pretty disastrous. Too often I find myself running into stuff that I have never seen before, which leads me to either skip the section entirely or branch off on tangents for hours.

On a similar note, I've noticed that in college course listings, there are clusters of classes where you take a certain number as a requirement. It seems that what you choose is arbitrary, so how do you choose which of those to take?


(sorry for the short op, accidentally posted before finishing and wanted to fill it with something relatively quickly)

I think this should be a problem to be addressed: whereas for a normal post you can preview it (I always try to do that over a post over 3 sentenses long), you cannot do it for blogs. The double-standard should be fixed.

Rage against the establishment.

The irony is that I can preview my blog reply. Maybe blogs should be made with more care to begin with?

I disagree. I think that blogs are the convicted translation of thoughts and feelings into english, and then posted for the world to see. The ability to preview, to review your thoughts and feelings leads to alterations that betray the original and truthful impulses you've had.

The blogs don't need a preview button. It's not their function, nay, it's not their right to have a preview button. WOULD YOU LIE TO YOURSELF AND THE WORLD OVER? IS THAT WORTH A PREVIEW BUTTON?

Interesting point, but at least you want to see if, for examples, that pictures are properly embedded and texts are typo-free: these allowd your FEELINGS to be accurately transmitted.

A blogs preview button is near the bottom of the to-do list... but I would definitely appreciate it.

and @OP i think you should choose what classes you will take then preview... if you can't handle it then you are either dumb or you just can't focus cus you aren't actually taking the class...

the only classes i find it really worth reading ahead in are literature classes. if your instructor posts a syllabus ahead of time, you know you are going to read those books anyways and usually they're a bitch to keep up with during the school year, so you might as well get ahead during the summer

You can preview blog entries on Liquid Poker, which I always thought was the same code base as TL.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.
