pa para ra ra ra!!! it's exam time....... again

barely done with the navratra celebrations and in 4 days we have exams.... again!
this is crazy! it really is.... not that i thought things were going to be a cakewalk here but being in it is a totally different experience.
the past week i've barely slept more than 3 hours a night and only on 2 days did i manage to sneak in a nap between classes. its not like im getting any studying done either. all i have managed to do so far is just about finish my assignments.
let me illustrate by describing my day today.... looking at it technically (from 00:00 hrs) i began the day with one strong cup (glass?) of coffee to keep me awake the next 5 hrs. had a marketing presentation to prepare, followed by a capacity planning report. my comp was acting all weird so that effectively doubled the amount of time i took to finish my work. came back at 4:30 am.. tried to study for a while. ended up reading one page of macro. slept at 6. woke up at 8:30 thoroughly disoriented. rushed to class where (my luck) we didnt have to present our analysis (always happens when i spend an entire night trying to make a ppt look good).. rushed back between classes to complete some pending work. ran back up for the next class at the end of which a macro quiz is announced. No chance to study as we had another class in between. skipped lunch to try studying (stupid thing to do). bad quiz. came back half-dead. went straight to sleep. woke up 3 hrs later again disoriented. dinner followed by some work. went for a long walk after that. came back at 12. did the assignment for the next day. comp was even worse today. was taking forever. tinkered around for a while and got it fixed (i hope it is fixed!).... felt all cool about myself about doing it... and so celebrated by doing nothing for about an hour. realized there is a quiz announced for tomorrow. started studying. 2 hrs later im only one chapter down (and about a million more to go)
but i'm not complaining. i asked for this!!
