[The Infamous]

[Dubby]

C/s

Except I often find myself reciting lyrics in my head when I should be reading, so sometime I read a page of a bookl n all I've learnt is a song.

When I listen to something instrumental like jazz I concentrate better than when I'm not listening to something at all for some reason.

Submitted my first assignment today, went over my word limit by 1000 words (got carried away) so i had to edit it loads and im not sure if im as happy with it as i was when i did the 2000 words, but i guess all i can do now is wait and see what my results are, fingers crossed.

thats all i do tbh

pretty much know the X&Y album word for word, but i guess its suited to my revision style

[Drift]

lol @ revising to music

[Dubby]

one single focused distraction >>> several distractions with wondering focus

although for learning theory I need silence; application of concept/theory can be easily done accompanied with music

[spiderman]

i revise to terminator music. straight hard body, machine like relentlessness

rarely have music on tho when im revising.

[HangTheDJ]

fourth of five exams today at 1.30

not totally prepared, by far my weakest module and i've put off revising for it until yesterday

spent 10 hours in library though, learning everything i needed too

i got 67 on my coursework, and i found out just now that if you get between 35-39 on the exam then it's their discretion if they let you through or not, so 35% should be enough!

i wouldn't be too fussed about a re-take but i've got a festival over the same timescale as retakes

fingers crossed i can get through it anyway

[Percy]

LOL thought i was prepared. this exam is gonna be way trickier than i thought.

shet shet shet.

I am going to fail philosophy!!!!!!

[Natty]

I am going to fail philosophy!!!!!!

You another A-Leveler?

[Captain Planet]

Positive thoughts can come in handy during hard times. So here's my input:

Bad Thing: I hate philosophy, can't seem to put the time or energy into getting my head around it, and as a result may end up failing that class.

Good Thing: I can now definitively strike off "philosopher" from my list of potential drastic career moves.

Bad Thing: I am so behind in my studying I feel I would need an entire academic year (yes, another one) just to get on top of things.

Good Thing: One of the reasons I am so behind is that I was dancing the night away and mashing random chicks during the year. Pretty good trade-off, in my book.

Bad Thing: I didn't get a spot to go to Singapore.

Good Thing: I don't have to stress and lose valuable social/study time trying to find a new place to live. And I get to go skiing while all my classmates are exploring the beaches of South East Asia. (I'm trying really hard to find the positives here...)

Bad Thing: Exams start in one week.

Good Thing: Post-exam World Cup binge starts in a few days.

Bad Thing: Exams are almost over.

Good Thing: Exams are almost over.

[Queen Bee]

Lol i agree with your optimistic view point but some of your examples are a bit questionable

[Dubby]

This management unit is so boring god dammit, I can flick though the entire text book and not be interested by one thing.

[Yoshie]
