honestly, not stressing is so much better than stressing; its a lot less painful lol. im currently fluctuating between the two.
Same situation here. How much are you doing per day (in hours)?

I read somewhere here that apparently its bad to drink coffee before our exams.
Is this true? Ive become a regular coffee drinker (one cup a day). Apparently it makes you go all shaky and nervous? I haven't drunk coffee before an exam before, but is this true? I never shake after I drink coffee when I'm studying. Recently ive become extremely tired despite how much sleep I get.. should I be drinking this addictive substance?!

I have a feeling our paths will collide some day.
I really hope they do! :)

Oh gosh, this question scares me so much lol. Honestly, I don't time myself, I just do what I need to get done, but I'd approximate now, it's at like ~3 hours. If I don't know my stuff now, I don't think I will.

Well, generally, try and avoid relying on it too much where possible. If it's become a part of your routine, now probably wouldn't be the best time to change that routine, just make sure you don't go overboard with how much you take. Replace it with water. :)

Oh wow. Do you shake after you drink coffee on a normal day? Or just in exam times?
I might vomit as well.. I have a really big dislike for dairy and whenever I can taste it I vomit (so I don't eat cheese, butter or drink plain milk).
I think after hsc I'm going to completely withdraw from drinking coffee. Well that is.. maybe until uni starts up -__-.. if I get into uni trolololol.

Yes, she's my teacher. :) Super sweet lady, I think we're all ringing her phone flat with last minute nerves.

Lol, my periods of procrastination have turned into periods of just stressing like a crazywoman. And then I calm down and watch TV :L

Ohhh yeah man shes nice as. She was my English tutor for 3 terms but then I quit after trials. I didn't think she seemed to help that much (in terms of advice, editing etc) but she gives a crap load of good notes. I remember she said there was always some Asian girl handing her essays but moulded to different questions.. I'm guessing that's you? Lmao
that's pretty strange how she gave you her phone number o-o my English teacher isn't even responding to my emails lol.

I don't normally shake unless I drink excessive amounts, which I've done for my prelim exams lol

I normally drink it but I've just stopped and replaced it with good sleep - much better.
