I don't believe a persons intelligence can be measured by their ability to complete a question paper, ergo one should not be judged by their results. Yet that is the necessary mission we must all complete, shackled and whipped. But talking about exams itself is so boring and quite frankly when it boils down to it I am quite nonchalant about the whole thing - if that's the way it is then... meh...
What I think is more interesting is the time period just before and during exams - I shall name it... "Bored Randomania"
BR is what we all struggle to get through and we all suffer trying to do something important and instead start to take interest in things we wouldn't normally be interested in and on some occasions become the perfect "home makers"
A wise student once quoted me this: "Procrastination is like masturbation, it is fun while you are doing it, until you realize that you are only screwing yourself."
And yes we all do it! (Procrastinate... you dirty bastard!) and it is a curse that vexes all students, prep and jock alike.
You know you are procrastinating when:
1. You take a sudden interest in Movies and Series, and believe it is important to be up to date on current entertainment news.
2. You make your bed... twice in one day.
3. You clean your room and offer to make supper AND do the laundry.
4. Facebook and MXiT are new resourceful "colleague information gathering" services.
5. Libraries become the greatest way to LOOK studious and catch up on gossip.
6. Watching people around you becomes super interesting.
7. You masturbate.
8. You make every effort to tell yourself to stay away from "social events" so you can study and then you reward yourself by watching a movie.
Time becomes an enemy and everything blurs together like a big illusion. Nothing seems to be done yet everything seems to be around you.
A cure for procrastination? Well, if I had that answer I wouldn't be typing this blog 3 days before my Math exam.
HINT: What I found to work sometimes, is to make arrangements to study with an estranged acquaintance- when you with them you don't want to look bad so you will be more encouraged to work.
