Exam Week: The Rules Of

Exams. Exams are the real life equivalent of Sandra Bullock in the begin of The Proposal: Evil. No one likes them, but we all have to do them. Except homeschool kids, but they don't count (sorry Garrett! And Hannah... And Michael... Wow, I actually know a lot of homeschool kids... I apologize to you all).
I share a locker with this boy named Joe, who i've been really close with since grade 9 geography, second semester. That class sucked... Anyway, Joe is the definition of a study bug. He didn't go to bed last night because he had a chemistry test this afternoon, that I'm sure he got 100% on, cause he's a genius. Joe has kind of set out personal exam week rules that I thought may help to keep the peace a little during exam week. So vie taken joe's unspoken (kind of spoken..) exam week rules, elaborated upon them, and have decided to present them to the public:

1. Arriving at the library En Masse with 50 of your closest friends and then taking a 3 hour break to grab Admirals is not an effective way to study. Don't do it.

2. It doesn't matter what the teachers tell you, pulling an all-nighter the night before Ms. Mosher's math exam is definitely going to get you a better mark.

3. The one and only time that not showering is acceptable is exam week: that's half an hour worth of information you're missing out on.

4. Food is too timely. Ultimate fat burner: exam week. If you simply must eat, Danino works wonders... As does cold pizza, twizzlers, and little green mints.

5. There are times in a person's life that they're covered under what we call The Grace Period: The death of a loved one, child birth, inexplicable medical turmoil... Exam week. Anything you say or do CANNOT be held against you later in life.

6. Chores can be done later, exam week comes twice a year, and is clearly more important than the mountain of garbage bags, waiting for you to take them out.

7. No one cares if you're pasty. Those with 10 page essays due do NOT have time to tan.

8. If you have time to get the headphones in your ears, you're not dedicated enough.

9. Every second counts. No one is allowed to test you for bringing a textbook into the bathroom.

Lastly...

10. Daydreaming about the summer is an ineffective use of your time: absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Alright Internet, this blog has now taken me 26 minutes to write. That's 26 minutes of studying i could have gotten in, or... A shower. I could really use one of those. Good luck with your exams, I shall blog again soon, but it may be very, very short.

Blessings
Maddi.
