    Uh, just got back from my exam. If all goes well, I'll pass. Last night I followed some advice and drank energy drink to keep myself awake. I was sure that otherwise I'd fall asleep without reading all the necessary material. In the end, when I finished, I tried to go to sleep, but couldn't. Went to exam with only few hours of sleep.
    Yeah, that's not really the way to go about it, I gotta say. I've found that if you cram a lot in before going to sleep - or not, in your case - you don't retain that knowledge as much as you would if you just evenly spaced things out over a few days/weeks/months/however long you had to revise. I was never the best at exams back in high school, mostly because I was a crappy reviser and I tried to cram too much in in the hours leading up to the exam. Yeesh. Good times.
    ~ When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take back the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! WITH THE LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN! ~

      I know, I know. I always intend to plan my studying, but fail to do so, when the time comes. It's always been like that. In fact, it feels strange when something gets done before last minute.

        Lol, we could write a book: "The Last Minute: Why It's Best To Leave Things To It, Australia and Estonia recommended!"

          *raises hand*

          I know this very well, I nearly always do things in the last minute . Why start learning for an exam 3 months before when starting 3 days before is early enough?

            Approved by Nicholas Rush.


            Nice save, eh. Not because he would leave things at the last minute, but because his name is in the thread title. ... Australia?

                  Australia? Who said Australia?

                  And yes, very on-topic. Once, during the derailing of a thread about whether or not SGU was a soap or not, I posted a recipe for making soap to keep things on-topic. Good times.

                    Aww, too bad I missed it. Would've laughed myself silly.

                              I'm afraid she'd stop posting jeans' pictures.

                              Wasn't it the other way around?

                                Uh, yeah, right! Sometimes doing to many things simultaneously confuses me a bit, although I'm a woman
