It's all over

This is what you look like and
This is how you feel

As promised here is my unfortunate recounting of the horrors of studying for exams - I know I said I would post after the first one or at least right after the last one but I under estimated the recuperation period necessary to recover such an exhausting occasion. Here are a few of the highlights one can expect when studying for exams:

The Fun Stuff:

• The copious amounts of work you have to look over
• The jittery nerves mixed in with caffeine mixed in with exhaustion, that reeks of imminent failure
• Insanity
• Ability to ramble on about ATP and Andrew Jackson... during your math exam
• Crying
• Insomnia
• Narcolepsy
• The jubilation at finishing one exam, then going home and cramming for the next one
• The lack of christmas spirit
• Losing your grip on reality and becoming obsessed with teen drama's, like The Vampire Diaries
• Fatigue

The only good thing about exams is the fact that after the last exam is finished, and you step outside into the cold winter sunlight, you feel...freedom. In some cases like last week it is especially magical as snow begins to fall, celebrating the fact that you are done studying for your flupping exams. Then you pick up your backpack full of over-break school work, and trudge home. At least I got a free mocha at the end of it.

Exams are coming my notebooks getting fat

please tell me teachers I'm done with that.

ANYWHO, if no one got my clever reference to that one christmas song "Christmas is coming" it's because you, like me, are so caught up in the feverish race to cram 3 months worth of knowledge into your tiny leetle mind for a two hour long mega-test, that there is no such thing as christmas in our mind at the moment. Your decemeber countdown is until the last exam, when Christmas will hit you hard in the face and you'll realize it was there all along. Everyone has different ways of coping, as was painstakingly explained to me the other day in a 20 minute long speech about how to prepare yourself mentally, physically, and pathologically for exams. Some of us never change our clothes, others decide that we are going to convert to judaism and write a post about it on our blog, despite the fact that our namesake is the mother of jesus, and some of us just...study. Because thats all you can do, no matter what a teacher tells you about "applying knowledge to everyday situations in order to get a more firm grasp on its practical implications" I'm never going to need to know what the flup the Krebs cycle is when converting chemical energy to adenosine triphosphate, or how it applies to my body. SOMEONE MADE IT UP JUST TO SPITE ME. sorry.
At any rate, it's getting late and I will try to update the blog after exams and during to get the full scope of the problem for your pleasure
