Exam Discoveries:
Things I have discovered about exams.
- 24-Hour Quiet Hours suck - they suck to study in, and they suck even more to enforce. Suck suck suck suck.
- Procrastination - A good thing, maybe the best of things. It sucks you in to do weird, weird things. Write a fake Incident Report for your friends? Sure. Trip to Chestnut Hill for McDonalds and Wawa? Sure. Actually get work done? Hellz no.
- Studying Music - I am a nerd, and a geek, but I study best to the scores to musicals. I went through Guys and Dolls yesterday, and Les Mis and Phantom of the Opera today. Tomorrow, perhaps Rent, then tick tick boom! and then Assassins and Into the Woods. Who knows.
- They need more free tacos when they advertise free tacos.
- Coffee is a good thing, maybe the best of things...ahh, even stale, it breathes life and humor into you.
- Professors: instead of handing out syllabi at the beginning of the semester, give out exam study sheets. Then, I can decide whether I really want this during my last week of class, and decide to drop then.
- Just having the intention to study does not automatically make you study.
- Studying via AOL Instant Messenger? Not gonna happen. It really doesn't work: "Oliver Twist [smiley face] was such a hard book! LOL! ROFLMAO!"
- Friends with study guides for your classes are angels sent here on earth so you have a hope of passing.
I'm not that bad off. After tomorrow, I should be fine. For now, anyone want to help me discuss the concept of an evolutionary stable strategy? Oh My God! [smiley face>]LOL! ROFLMAO!
