Intensely is the better word choice. Which is surpising given the myraid other
errors in your post (j/k).
intense = extreme
intensive = thorough
Technically they can be used the same, but commonly, intensive is used for
academic/research type subjects. I looked in the big dictionary, and one actual
definition of intensive was "given a large ammount of material to be studied
intensely (~ course)". Although the first definition of intensive in both
dictionaries was "of, relating to or pertaining to intensity".
