That time....

Its that time of the year again.....which all students dread....the time when the final year exams are jz around the corner!! Well to be more exact, they are jz one month away for me.

The whole cycle starts again...as it does every single year....sleeping late, getting stressed, mood swings (happens to me alot), trying to make sense of what is going on (in studies tat is), trying to finish up all the assignments due, having an outbreak (pimples) all over my face which makes me look extremely gross, walking around like a zombie due to lack of sleep, trying my best to concentrate and even better..trying my best to study.

As it is, for me, the nearer the exams the lazier I get. The more I tend to slack and the more I tend to get distracted. My mind tends to wander away when I study...thinking about things which are sooo not important. No matter what other people say, my self-discipline is jz pathetic...or non-existent for that matter. I always, always, need a push. And as you can surely tell, pushing myself is a rather difficult job. If I don't push myself, I would not study at all. Maybe I need someone in the form of my mother...that would work wonders....Sadly, that is not possible. So I have to rely on myself.

I also have this habit of loosing my papers as the exams come nearer. Somehow, they go missing and I can never find them. The best part is, when the exams are over and I am clearing my things, those same papers that went missing, magically reappear....

I would have also gotten an award for 'the world's most distracted person'..if there was such an award. It doesn't take me long to take distracted. Beautiful weather or good music or INTERNET or chatting or good novels...and the list goes on and on and on....I simply cannot study in the university library unlike others. I tend to get distracted by the people passing by or the people sitting around me...imagine that...So I am usually stuck in my room. Not that studying in my room works that much..at least it is more conducive than in the library in my opinion.

Reading books bore me to death..especially academic books. However, I don't really have a choice as all the subjects I am taking require me to do extra readings. As it so happens, after about 5 minutes of reading, I tend to fall asleep. Then I wake up after 5-10minutes and start reading again...and again I fall asleep. I take a loooonggg time to finish one chapter of my textbook.

Due to all these, my progress is usually very, very slow. So I have no choice but to sleep late and make sure that I can finish at least most of my work for that day. Hence, I walk around like a zombie and get mood swings. Not to mention, pimples pop out all over my face. But somehow, I usually manage to finish everything and be more or less prepared for my papers....

Well, this is the way I prepare myself for my exams...though they don't sound so...uhh..encouraging... it works for me. As it is quite obvious, I got distracted as usual...and wrote this random post...ok then...got to get back to my books!(sadly)...
