I've got something like 2 weeks until my exam week....it'll be pretty gruesome.

But I've got a backcountry backpacking trip planned for the weekend before so I can get out in the woods and study.

I did have the fear in my first year....so much so that I went into my first exam (Accounts & Finance I think) completely stoned (to try and calm down!)....and got 97%!!! :woot: Booyaka! :lol: :lol: :lol: Kind of lost the fear after that but but I did have a great revision technique...

I'd roll a cheeky one and leave it on the desk, telling myself I couldn't smoke it till I'd done at least 2 hours GOOD revision! It worked a treat....though by the time I'd smoked it I'd probably forgotten everything again! :wink: :lol:

You know, one of these days I might actually start ripping, hosting and re-sizing images.

Meh, maybe not.

Jo if you dont study you will fail your exam, and the depression this will cause you will mean that you fail your degree. After failing your degree your FH will no longer want to be with you. You will work at the pub full time but the misery of losing FH will mean that you start sneaking pints every 5 mins for yourself. You will be discovered then sacked. You get a job at McDonalds which unfortunatley does not leave you enough money to buy guiness so you have to become tetotal and your skintness means you have to eat every meal at McDonalds, so you get fat, and i mean FAT which means that you have to give up horse riding, after you break a shire horses back.

Scared?

lol. This summer I have the unbridled joy of being a finalist at the third most competitive university on the planet - can everyone say "retake"? I do have a dissertation to write before that though, hence procrastination on the forum :)
