^haven't written a single text response/context essay by hand or under timed conditions.

i am so faaarked!!

And for once in my life, if I could just stick to this study routine, I might be okay:

Study 9am-1pm, 2pm-6pm, 7pm-9ish pm.

Eat, TV and other stuff at other times :P

Its what us uni folk call the week our holidays start. However they are rudely interrupted ~7 days later by exams.

If you're a good student you're meant to study in that week and get your shit together for exams.

Isn't it the bad students that spend swotvac cramming desperately?

I get up at 7, eat breakfast by 8, work till 12.
Lunch till 1, work till 6, dinner and relax.

Simple :)

I need a filter that prevents me from visiting any sites that aren't chemistry, biology, maths or english related. :(

It's so hard sitting in front of a computer and not wasting time...
