It is now time to take some credit for all that you have accomplished in just two weeks worth of blogs. If you did all the exercises to memorize a year of the calendar then it probably took you only an hour or two to learn the entire year 2011. You can amaze people with your new ability to remember dates. Try entertaining at a party by telling them what day of the week their birthday was or will be this year. Later we will expand our range of knowing the dates.
Some of you might be wondering why bother to memorize the calendar. What use will it be? This exercise was done to build your confidence that you can memorize a plethora of information in a shorter time than you thought was possible. This opens possibilities for what else could you become proficient a t memorizing. Let your imagination be free. Maybe you could be a straight a student and spend less time studying. Maybe you could memorize information for work, facts about your favorite baseball team. The possibilities are endless!.
