I still have to study occasionally, though I am not a student anymore. My test to renew my translator certification was last week, so I studied the best way I knew how.

Lots of telenovelas, music videos, and foreign news reports!

Seriously though, study time was my favorite time of the day. I could learn at my own pace (normally about two or three chapters ahead of the rest of the class). Whether it was in my room at my desk, or at the kitchen table helping by brother and sister with their homework.

Usually I don't like distractions while studying; but with my work, studying requires what I used to consider distractions (TV, music, etc.). It is a big change from what I grew up doing, that's for sure. But I wouldn't want to go back to studying that way. Unless it was for a subject that wasn't connected to the languages area.
