It will pass when you start university again :D No, as usual I'm glad to be back in college even if I was not idle this time :) I just hope to get rid of some subjects so I can move to other things.
I, for one, am dying to find out what colour they paint Michael's toenails.

For the most part :) No actually the right thing is the opposite but a compromise must be made, you can't be studying all the time.

Indeed Elvin, my sister does that everytime and everytime when she gets a test she's numbed and doesn't know anything. Bye bye hard learning!

Maybe it's phychological, people work differently. A few years ago I could study all day if I really felt pressed but never got too stressed during the test. There were moments that I was out of it but taking a deep breath, taking a short break or even yawning will help you continue.

Well there was one time I just forgot EVERYTHING. Sucks, I knew all the math formulas some minutes ago and poof they were gone. During the test :S To an extent it was warranted because I had studied only the last 2-3 days and most of the formulas were variations of each other.

I totally agree Chai...

Cramming is so tempting in college though...how else can I also have to time to play my favorite videogames? ;)

Not to mention, that the endless studying starts to get to you...:S

@stefan: It's good to be back! :)

I know lots of people that are doing that...problem is that Science Majors are just a bit too hard to get away with that strategy.

I'm studying a decent amount (I'd say a lot, but then thunderbolts will shock me to death for lying ;)) and those A's are elusive. Heck, I wonder if I'm going to pass Calculus...I NEED TO PASS THAT COURSE! :cry:

Then you be a smart one! ;)

Some of my friends are failing most of their classes because of such habits. :loll:

Well, sitting here at school. It sucks! We do nothing. Then the teacher comes in and starts a story about we doing nothing, we say we will do stuff and the day after the circel starts all over again :D. Passed last year though :)
