i feel you,sister..

i just keep repeating to myself 'it's over in the middle of december, it's over in the middle of december'.

oh, and drinking a little so i can fall asleep faster helps too

evenstar said:

im done on the 6th!
but yes, a lil shot of something hard before sleep works as a wonderful night cap

evenstar said:

lol, i guess i have to go the same pattern as in high school..no honestly, i just get anxiety in high school, so i drank a wee bit of tequilla then went to school, it didnt do anything..but yeah..i hate alcohol..it dosen't do anything to me.

sammij said:

my finals schedule is totally fucked. THREE exams in one day, and then i have a six-day gap until my final one on the 18th.

baroque said:

i used to get really anxious just sitting in class (like i couldn't breathe ) but that's mostly gone away. it definitely sucks though.

evenstar said:

ugggh that sucks!

that's post-secondary education for ya

sammij said:

let's run away and be hobos! fuck the system!

evenstar said:

ANARCHY AND FREEDOM!! is what we need lol...can be hobo who are heroin addicts cause they have such nice skin..lol

ephedrine flowed like the river jordan when i was in college. we'd wash down some trucker speed with a can of jolt, then spend all night drinking instant coffee that we overmeasured to have the consistency of caulk.

then i turned on kraftwerk or diamanda galas REALLY LOUD, and i got crackin'.

that's how i did it.

evenstar said:

we'll move to montreal, all the hippies live in the parks there!

When I was in college,
I dealt with it by quittin'.

Now look where I am.

Here.

With you guys.

It's fucked up insane to schedule all this shit at once. Finals can't really be helped just by their nature, but what is it proving by coralling students into this trap of sleep-deprivation and stress through final projects and essays and reports and studies when they need more than any other time in the semester to be concentrating on studying? Makes no damn sense.

I've got a hunch that it has more to do with some fucked up retribution or tradition, i.e. the mentality of the profs and faculty that they had to haul themselves through this horseshit first, so the new crop of students should just suck it up and slog through it too, than any semblance of an attempt to create a favourable atmosphere for good grades.

Isn't ephedrine still banned? I know I used Zantrax3 for all nighters.

I'm glad I'm done with it :nah:, but I should go back for a Masters. I feel incomplete, but I dreaded it when I was there the first time around. I love learning. I mean, who's gonna be opposed to learning new things and broadening their horizons.....it's just structured settings that kill me.

please college gods do not let me get sick right before finals or i will go on a killing spree

Anxiety said:

Is that why your named anxiety??

I don't deal with stress well, so I don't really have much advice. Just make sure to manage your time well. Don't procrastinate!

It's not that hard, and I just get on with it.

That would be my specialty.

AnckSuNamun said:

Me too. In this past spring semester, I waited until the last minute to do a 10 page paper for my Understanding Latin America class. I seriously didn't do any research until two days before it was due. I didn't go to sleep until after I handed that in


I'm trying not to do that this time

baroque said:

I'm not one to give advice seeing as Im in my 5th year now!
I really hate school these days! and I think I might shoot myself If I don't finish soon

it's wearing on me but i do have a month off

im actually in the studio/darkroom right now...


back to work...
