You know how for certain exams, certain professors will allow each student to take in one and only one single index card or sheet of paper for notes to help with the exam? For example, a card for a calculus exam might have formulas, and a card for an English essay exam might have different key points or quotes jotted down.
I'm thinking this must be a disadvantage to extroverted people who can't help themselves. Graphologically speaking, extroverts generally have larger-sized handwriting than introverts, almost invariably. I imagine that if you have difficulty writing small, you'll get much less out of your index card than those who can. Maybe that sounds dubious, but you'll see that extreme introverts will want to keep writing smaller and smaller, no matter how big you make them start out, and vice versa. People who are very extroverted can't make themselves write smaller for a long period of time unless under very heavy willpower.
I remember hearing a story in high school of a girl who had such a card for an English final exam, but she could so effectively write small that instead of using it to put down key points, she simply wrote the entire essay on the card.
Okay, back to studying.

Engineering professors let you do this all the time for exams, especially final ones. Even though I am quite the extrovert, I have crammed an entire notebook worth of information onto a note card before. That class was just ridiculous with the amount of RANDOM, useless information on the topic that wasn't worth anyone's time to actually learn. I tend to hate classes like that, considering I paid to basically go into a test and copy off my note card. But, oh well. At least I graduated. :) Oh, and make a photocopy of your journal and put it up in the library. Wouldn't take long ;)
