Alternative study method: outlines -> subtitles

I got laryngitis during finals. To compensate for the lack of verbal studying I converted my outlines to subtitles. It makes studying slightly less boring. The idea is to mute a movie you're familiar with and read the subtitles. It requires some formatting to get the spacing right.

In the event that anyone other than myself can learn in that fashion, the program is at http://www.qpscience.com/sub-gen/

I'm a 0L and know I have no business posting in this forum but I actually think that program is pretty cool. I love movies and if I had had this program during finals time during UG I feel like it would have been a decent way to memorize some shit for 2 hours while taking a break during finals week. Sorry I know I shouldn't be posting here I tried to keep my post away from the potential benefits to law school because obviously I have no idea.

Alternatively, I recorded myself speaking my outline and pertinent rules into voice-notes. I then upload them to iTunes, and just listened to myself day in and day out. I even put it on repeat to listen to while I sleept. I listened so much, I would get confused as to whether I was hearing my internal voice or listening to myself.
During my closed book exam my brain was firing off restatements like I was on Jeopardy!
Point is . . . do whatever works!!
