Having a hard time coming up with something that really works for me. Anyone have some suggestions? Right now I'm using "WATCHMARS" but it's driving me crazy!!

Meg that is the one I used. I thought it was a good one. What part are you having a problem with?

Oh I don't know, it just feels funny to me (does that make any sense??) Like it doesn't flow well and I'm having a hard time remembering it. I think I will work on coming up with my own, that seems to work best for me anyway!!

i am having such a love/hate relationship with the mneumonics! i know i should memorize them, but i just hate them! i do okay going through the steps of the aoc's w/out them, i'm just afraid of the 'what if's', you know, i get there, freeze up and can't think straight! i tell myself that won't happen, i tend to handle stress pretty well, but that is one expensive lesson to learn, so i guess i'll quit procrastinating and get back to memorizing. :D good luck!
