Okay, so, I've accepted my fate.

After a brief and successful battle with hysteria ten minutes before Criminal Justice, I came to my senses and decided that I'd just Muddle Through With Typical British Reserve.

Mission: Impossible.
Status: Clusterfucked.
Plan: Study.

To pull off Operation: Study, I'm going to need the following:

Rope
Caffine Pills
Ritalin or something similar
Small amounts of real food
Jolt
Mountain Dew
Tequila
Vodka
Energy drinks for desperate moments
Classical Music CD's
Brainwave generator
Large Knife
Computer
Anime
Ramen too complicated; ammended to Cup O' Noodleses
Chemistry for Dummies
Taped Episodes of Law and Order
Hypnosis
Makeup
Emergency Puke Bucket


...I should probably talk to Jason about this.

Well... you're certainly prepared.

Dunno how well this works but some suggestions:

-- according to my psych book, chewing gum while studying helps increase memory retention (combination of muscle activation and extra glucose)
-- don't eat too much while studying; it makes you sleepy and diverts blood from the brain to the stomach
-- highlight/underline key stuff: don't highlight everything because then it becomes useless
-- get sleep. I know it sounds counterproductive but sleep helps a lot. During deep sleep a lot of processing goes on and commits stuff to memory. Plus, you want to be alert for the test anyway.
-- if you have enough time, at the end quickly skim through again and write out notes/bullet points and read those before the test
-- if you have enough time, spread it out over several days and make sure to review what you learned the previous day AGAIN. Repetition really does help and reinforces it (again, courtesy of my psych book :P)

GL! :)

*huge giant bow* Thank you very, very much. *runs off to buy lots and lots of gum*

I got classical music and anime...and makeup...though I'm confused why you need makeup for studying...

Yeah, Jason's got a lot of that stuff, lol.

I've got rope too...but if you're using it to hang yourself, you're SOL.

Hehehehehe. I would certainly not use rope to hang myself with. Let's face it, I'm a "take a bunch of pills and hop in the bathtub" kind of girl.

The rope would be used towards completely different ends.

...considering you're not British. ;) But I suppose this is your secret to surviving winter in upstate NY.

Especially the muddling part, lol.
