FU

4AM, why do you refuse to let me sleep past you on the morning of my exam. What troll-guarded sleep bridge tax do I need to pay?

Another tip: always shower and dress sexy to an exam, even if it means giving up that one last review. Unless you know the material inside and out, chances are you aren' t feeling particularly confident on your test performance. Some of the self-confidence from looking good might rub off on your test, and you'll be more likely to recall a memory at the crucial moment if you're in a state of cool stress, as opposed to heightened stress.

But then again, do I need a reason to look good? :P

I should write about the time I took an orgo chemistry final with a tuxedo...scored an A in that class.

Finished exam a few hours earlier, then took a nap to make up for the 4AM wakeup. As soon as I woke up, my mind started going over the facts I had studied the night before, despite the fact that sleep would be much better for me at that point in time.

It really goes to show just how in tune your mind can get. Even a groggy  morning and I was still ready to jump out of bed with a shotgun full of nerve innervations. During the exam, there were more than a few questions which I recalled directly from the lecture but hadn't bothered studying for. Its almost scary how much information it picks up, whether you try or not.

I felt like I recognized a large percentage of the topics on the exam and answered them well. There were a few questions whose topic I recognized, such as lymph nodes and blood vessels, but hadn't been able to reach after falling ill earlier this weekend and losing an entire day's worth of studying. With only 5 pages remaining in the lecture, I ended up going to sleep at 11:15 pm (which is already past my bedtime) in order to try and maintain a schedule. That didn't happen. Of course, the only question on that entire lecture came from the last of the pages I didnt read. But it happens, and don't worry about it. This is just the first test of many.

I also found out today that spiders in Dominica are much faster than in Canada. It disappeared in the blink of an eye. Anyways, I'm off to the beach!
