Here's a sign that I've probably spent my day productively:
Breakfast: 8 Digestive biscuits, 1 cup Milo
Lunch: Starbucks Iced Brewed Coffee, tall
Dinner: Subway 6-inch steak sub, 1 bottle Coke Blak
Supper: Orange juice
Drinking orange juice evokes vivid impressions of cramped cabins, solicitous (or not so solicitous, depending on airline) air stewardesses, ceaseless engine hum and endless hours of tedium. Dreams about airports and air travel etc. have begun popping up, right on schedule. I am also sleeping way too much for someone who's supposed to be cramming for finals.
Last exam is tomorrow, thank goodness, and then afterwards it's an all-nighter(s) rush to finish a term paper due on Monday. Which, naturally, I haven't started yet - but it's for a pass/fail class. (That's what I say now, but come Sunday, it'd be hell all over again.)
One thing I've learnt from this semester: choose study buddies well. My study buddy for organic chemistry is this grimly-driven PRC third-year Biochemistry major. We get serious work done, and there isn't a lot of irrelevant small talk - in fact when we were walking back to our dorms at the end of a full day's worth of organic chemistry (time at last for idle chit-chat, one would imagine), we were discussing Archimedes' Principle and how it relates to global warming and ice-cap melting. I made a mistake with my physics study partner, and (long story) ended up almost dropping the course 2 hours before the exam - which would have been a tragic, tragic screw-up.

hah. then you don't want my study partners...
we:
1)talk about chicks all the time
2)play computer games on the eve of exams... hmm come to think of it.. we play all the time.
3)take endless breaks (nutrition is important! so are trips to the toliet)
4)do outrageously silly things like suddenly attempting to study on 1 leg. (it really happened. believe me!)
We get rather stressed at around here and any form of stress relief is definitely healthy. i guess we all work in bursts - ie. we never really study together. we just disappear for about 1 hour then regroup to waste another 2. :)
wouldn't trade my study buddies for the world - even if it meant scoring rather a lot better. lol
at least exams are fun. *sick grin*

if i need distraction, all i have to do to attempt to study by myself. with a laptop within easy reach. before i hauled my sorry self off to study group this morning, for example, all i could make myself do was watch movie trailers. along with a.o scott's stony-faced video reviews on new york times online.
rather interesting, though. suddenly, there're a bunch of movies i desperately want to watch.

oh the movie urge! i totally understand you feel.
before my first year professionals, i watched 40 movies in about say 3 weeks? ie. about 2-3 a day. i such the movie junkie!
still did pretty well. :)
but certainly not up to "A" standards (B+/B-ish)- so its a path you DON'T want to take.
i send love.
