One way to kill Yourself

Work out the exam's time, two or three days before it will be upon you.

Agree to go on the bread run - biking round the central city early in the morning, picking up bread from bakerys and cafes and dropping off to a charitable organisation - on the morning of the test. This duty will require you to get up at 6:30am, biking out into the listless morning smog, alone, listening to something fairly hardcore on your Tosh Gigabeat.

Put of studying until pretty much the day before the exam.

Spend the night before your study day in a pup tent in the back yard.

Know the feeling of having your life sucked out of you, and wander about aimlessly, looking for anything to do - anything but study.

Look at the clock on the Mac G4 that you're using to display the 2003 First Year Statistics paper exam solutions, and see that the time is 1:09am on the morning of your exam.

Feel that surge of joy, that glimmer of rebellious satisfaction at knowing that you're up really late, being really cool. Studying hard.

Time for a break. Just spend 5 minutes blogging about it.

If you're lucky, you'll get four something hours of sleep. Bed not made. All bedding in the tent, damp from being out there over a week now. Sleep on the mattress. Who cares.

Two or three bottles of E2 or Lift+ should see you through the day.
