i think near final exams students become nocturnal creatures. Take me for example. Under normal circumstances, i need an average of 10-12 hours of sleep each day to feel well rested and contented. Contrast this to 3-2 weeks prior to exams where my night becomes day and day becomes night. The evolution of my sleeping habits: it starts off by staying up till 2-3am not to study but to procrastinate online (friendster/blogging/emailing) and maybe getting through one page of my readings. Then nearer week 2 of countdown-to-exam, i start to panic and realise I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO STUDY. *stupid internet, damn distraction.* I start staying up till 4ams to get "some" work done. and i promise myself to wake up earlier in the morning to start off early so i can maximise 24 hours. I operate on 5-6 hours of shut eye each *night* now. Walk around UNi stoning with a one track mind. Currently it reads: Property-Equitable interests in Torrens/ General Law Land. Taking coffee in the afternoons boost my system as well. It's 1237am, i spent the last 7 hrs + 1 hr ++ break between then and now in the library trying to finish up "exceptions to indefeasibility" and i am still very awake. Just stoning. Don't talk to me. damn blur now...I think its the stress that keeps me going through each day now. Stress+ panic. Soon it will be sleep at 5am, wake up at 10am and stone the rest of the time. Night before exam= panicking shit and stress i won't have the want or feel the need to sleep, but enough determination to pull an all nighter. Amazing what exams can do to my daily habits. I lost my need to sleep my 10-12 hrs a day at night. Panda eyed, stress showing on my face (stupid pimples..DIE you pimple DIE!!!!), perpetual blurness...and suddenly my favourite hangout is the library.... i not just become nocturnal, i become a *shock* *gasp* nerd!! ok, must correct that, super blur stoning nerd. :P sighs..can't wait for life to resume back to normal.........the emptiness of not feeling the need to do anything but wake up and watch TV and walk around the house aimlessly...
