13. The Cat's Diary
Day 983 of My Captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine
lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of
dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I
nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt
todisgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and
dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their
hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made
condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in
solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises
and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of
"allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors
by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at
the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog
receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than
willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird must be an informant. I observe
him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every
move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so
he is safe. For now ...

The concept, in its most basic form, is self-quizzing. The way most people study is
they go over a list of topics, and run through them once or twice. Maybe you make
flashcards. And as soon as you've gotten them right at least once, you figure out
know them and move on.
But that's not knowledge. That's the illusion of mastery.
So how do you know if you really know something? By simulating testing
conditions and forcing yourself to work harder to pull the information from
memory. Practically, that means closing the book or the laptop and going back
through the concept and asking yourself questions to test understanding instead
of basic recall.
