Step 1: Start out confident.
Step 2: Realize you can’t remember a single thing you learned at the beginning of the semester anymore, and the rest of it is just sort of a haze of why-am-I-not-sleeping-right-now and when-are-we-actually-going-to-need-to-know-this-(oh-crap-I-forgot-about-finals).
Step 3: Make a face like a pirate in hopes of scaring your notes into making more sense.
Step 4: When that doesn’t work, make a face like a lost puppy instead, in hopes of depressing your notes into taking pity on you, and thus making more sense.
Step 5: Take a nap.

If you’ve got final exams coming up: Good luck! I’m rooting for you not to fall flat on your face like I’m probably going to.
If you don’t: Run.
Talk to you Wednesday!

PS. I’m serious. Run. Run, Forrest, Run–save yourself while you still can, because, “The finals are coming! The finals are coming!” AHHHHH.

Ahaha, thank you, Kira. I figured if I was going to procrastinate, I might as well do something productive while I was at it. 😛

There is also a really handy website that blocks you from going on certain sites for a certain period of time so you don’t get distracted by them. Here’s a link to download the Windows version (I pretty sure you have a Fujitsu so this should be the right one, but if you want one for the Mac I can send you a link to download that one as well): http://parker.kuivi.la/projects/selfrestraint.html

Welp, I think Tatiana’s stalker tendencies are wearing off on you, knowing the brand of my computer and all. 😉 I’ll make sure to download that program. Thanks! How are things going for you?

Haha, I noticed it in a post of yours a while ago 😉 I haven’t tried the program yet because I keep trying to convince myself that I don’t procrastinate on the internet (look what I’m doing right now when I have a World History test on monday :P) but my friends have used it and said that it works really well.
Things are going great! 🙂 How are things going for you?

So I tried using the program last week to get myself to focus on my English paper, and I ended up just using all the tricks I learned in high school to get around the blocker to the websites I locked myself out of. Which took even more time out of working on my paper than if I’d just left them open like usual. I think I officially have a problem.
Other than that, though, things are going pretty well. 😛 Finals start in the morning, which is such a fantastic feeling (heh heh heh), but I’m honestly only worried about passing Spanish at this point, so as soon as I’m done with that, it should be a nice, gradual slope down to the end of the semester. And then I get three weeks off, with absolutely no homework at all, because teachers can’t do that to you in college. Which is amazing. And yeah.
