*hugs* I know procrastinating can be evil :( The number of times I left stuff till the last moment is unreasonable, knowing that I can't study at night or early in the morning. Good luck with your last-minute revising and hopefully you'll get a subject you know and you'll pass!

BSG music is wonderful ♥ That was such a great series and with kickass songs ♥ ♥

Thanks, bb. It's just...I feel so stupid. I don't know what I was thinking. Oh, I wasn't thinking at all, I guess. *eyeroll* Because leaving everything to be done over two days is crazy! And just...I'm so frustrated with myself for continuously sabotaging myself this way, it's beyond ridiculous. *sigh* I always say, 'I'll stay up late studying', or 'I'll get up early', but then I can't even do that tomorrow, because I have to catch a few buses to scope out where my exam venue is so that I can be sure I'll arrive at the right place on Wednesday. So like, automatically, about two hours of my day is gone tomorrow, because I have to catch two buses to get to the place and then two back ( ... )

PS. There's a gif version of your icon in woodchoc_magnum's comment.

Oh, wait, I'll see if I can repost it (sometimes lj's a bit iffy with userpics)

Yes, it's gorgeous ♥ I still have quite some icon spaces left, so I'll lurk around for more icons :)

Oh, you have a Cuddy icon :) I used to love House and Huddy especially, but I stopped watching after last season's finale. And now I hear Lisa left the show :(

Gah. This is me right now. And it was one I was doing okay at, looks like I know what mood I'll be in tomorrow afternoon after my exam... I don't know why we let ourselves screw ourselves over, seriously, its beyond me. *headdesk*

*hugs and hopes you pass it*

We both have major issues, I think. *sigh* I'm sorry you share my pain! Hope you're not feeling too crappy tomorrow. *pets*

My situation just got worse. We were given a list of readings and a list of concepts- I thought the two corresponded, as in the concepts were found in those readings. Not so. So now I have even more work to do in an impossible time-frame. And Sociology is so frakking hazy and vague and dense that it's all I can do to wring out the actual concept after twenty pages and an hour of struggling, so yeah. Screwed big-time.

I know I have some issues for sure. *sigh* *pets you*

Ugh, sociology, I waffled through mine I hope I passed. Mine's microbiology so its all *specific* not just ideas to talk about! :( Sorry you found out you had more work to cover, I'm sure you'll get way better than I on mine still.

I so need to find a job and start churning out manuscripts to get out of my life.

THERAPY. WE NEED IT.

Or like, brainwashing. I'm open to that, if it makes me less messed up. >_I'd prefer microbiology. I say that knowing nothing about it. I was better at Psych 'coz all I had to do was memorize definitions. It was awesome. Soc is all over the place and I literally read forty pages and it gives me NOTHING that I can distill and use to describe a concept ( ... )

I wish you luck with whatever you can still get done!

(And those gifs, though sad, are very pretty.)

Ack. Thanks for the thought! But I've just found out my workload is tripled- didn't realize the 'key concepts' and 'key readings' weren't correlated- it was two separate lots of things I had to revise, so...yeah, FML. >_<

(IKR? I may be panicky as all get out, but staring at those gifs makes it...well, not bearable, but IDK. More attractive? Lol)

Oh man oh man. Good luck!

(Definitely attractive. :))

*Hugs* To be honest, I'm usually in the same boat. I procrastinate, and am always unprepared, but this time around I decided I would actually do what I was supposed to. Study hard and study a lot. But you know what? After all that I've come to the conclusion that it's possible to be over prepared. My first four exams were terrible because I was struggling with too much information that I was trying to keep straight, and my final two exams were awful because I was completely burned out. I haven't gotten my results yet but I suspect that I work best when less prepared, and maybe you will too?

Just try to calm down (I know that's easier said than done) do as much reading as you can and forget about what you can't cover in time. I think it's better to know some stuff than not know anything very well because you were trying to get through it all too quickly.

Good luck, bb! I hope you do well. Just don't kick yourself over this, most of us procrastinate like crazy.

Eeek, I'm sorry you doing the right thing kinda hampered you. Although I think I'd rather suffer from over-preparedness as opposed to lazy assed-ness. I only have one exam, so having tons of info would be perfect for me. >_<

It's a shame that you had a tough time with it, yikes, I can't even imagine how you managed to cope with six exams. :O I hope you do good!

I'm...not thinking things will be fine. I hope, but I don't believe. Mother told me just now that there's no point crying over it (yeah, there were tears, I'm falling apart over this, ugh) and to do the best I can- but then, she also believes I've been studying beforehand. And I've done nothing until today. How can I believe I have a shot in hell at passing ( ... )

Don't give up yet. Don't wail about failing until you've actually got the exam results back and find you didn't pass. There IS still a point in studying. Even if you don't get through everything, all that you do revise now you will be better prepared for on the exam, which means more points for you. You can still get by, just keep working on it, get a good night's sleep before hand, and do your best.

Don't waste time fretting now, you need that to study!

Hi, darling! *hugglesquish* It's nice to hear from you! I hope RL's going well for you. ^_^

And thanks for your encouragement, it lit a fire beneath me to get me going. I was kind of falling into my usual 'what's the point, it's hopeless' and seeing this kind of comment made me determined not to throw in the towel just yet.

And wow, for the first time in YEARS, I walked out of an exam feeling...not confident, but...hopeful. Which is a big deal for me. :D So I appreciate the boot in the butt and the support!
