Middle of nowhere

Well, examinations are halfway over, leaving me in the middle of nowhere. Four down, four left to die in. So far, though, they haven't been THAT bad. I expected a whole lot worse. [***CRAPPY ANALOGY WARNING***] Instead of a full-body cast, I've so far only come out with some internal bleeding, (read: it could be a whole lot worse). But yeah, I don't think the human hand (well, not mine anyway) was made to write five extended responses in one day, and eight in two days .

Anywho, am currently officially in day two of the first of my two four-day weekends (whoa, too many numbers in words), which may sound pretty cool on monitor, but considering I only started studying for Physics yesterday afternoon, and I haven't touched a Maths revision paper in about two or three weeks, this four-day weekend pretty much turns into a four day study/suckfest (they're one and the same, right?).

Speaking of Physics, three topics in six hours does not a prepared student make. Six hours is a little (read: a crapload) more than I usually study for ANYTHING; bad thing was, things seemed to go [***CRAPPY ANALOGY WARNING***] in one eye...and out the...ass? Point is, shit didn't sink in.

Things I learnt whilst studying for Physics:


  • ANY proper study routine involves at least one can of Coke. Half-proper study routines combine Coke with Skittles. Taste the caffeine-loaded rainbow, folks. Try not to injure anything when you hit the ground too hard coming down from a MAJOR sugar high.
  • Trying to study while lying down results in two things - falling asleep, and the other thing I can't remember, because I fell asleep.
  • Motors and Generators suck donkey balls. Boggled by eddy currents and electromagnetic induction, I decided to solve things the only way I knew how: playing with toys, or as I call them, action figures.
  • Thank you, Macquarie Revision Guides. Your slightly-less boggling information helped a bunch.
  • Thank you to whoever came up with the idea of Macquarie Revision Guides.
  • Best form of study break yet: spending 20-30 minutes dribbling a basketball in front of a mirror, with Jay-Z's Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life playing eardrum-piercingly loud. Hey, I can't really study with my Mum vaccuuming, now can I?
  • Speaking of Jigga, favourite quote at the moment: "Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week..."
  • Study environment essentials: Coke; Skittles; a ton of notes; Macquarie Revision Guides; any and all remotes (specifically TV, DVD and iPod speaker remotes) kept within arm's reach; 'action figures' kept close by; silence; and most importantly, study breaks to make you completely forget whatever it was in the last hour or so that you didn't really get in the first place .
  • No matter how much study's involved, four-day weekends are still pretty much pwnage.
  • There was a lack of color ...

With my modem coming up with new and inventive ways to test my patience, I think it's time for some sleep, though I don't really feel like sleeping yet. Goals for today: try and make it through Astrophysics without feeling the need to take a lighter to my Physics syllabus; complete some revision for Business; sleep properly. Anyways, later days!

P.S. You suck. Here's REALLY hoping to see you soon, somehow or other...

EDIT: Crap. 4:15AM. These aren't eyebags, they're suitcases.

END COMMUNICATION.
