well i like you too now that you mention you like me :D

im doing standard *lowers head and looks up with shame*, i tried advanced last year but didnt do too great in the final exam and thought it wasnt worth taking a risk like that in HSC. standard is a breeze though, write a catchy essay the night before with only minor amounts of bsing needed.

hmmmm...

1) habit of drinking copious amounts of tea to keep me awake.
2) continual chewing of gum
3) when I'm not chewing gum, I'm eating Kettle Chili chips to keep me awake
4) temporary deafness in left ear due to close placement of radio speaker
5) temporary (i hope) squint due to staring at computer screen
6) permanent (i think) deformation of right hand muscles
7) weird bizarre cravings for muesli and milk
8) bad sleep due to lying on large amounts of bio notes that are for some reason on my bed

I think I know a way to cure everyone's tiredness - and its not large amounts of caffeine. I stumbled upon it while I was doing research for my EE2 major work. But Its also illegal...

I had plenty too:

1. Lack of sleep due to thinking about what I HAVENT studied the night before
2. Severe hand-cramps - I tried writing with my left hand. Didn't work so well.
3. Eye twitches.
4. Constant eating - therefore gained weight.
5. Doing MORE chores (I never did anything) to avoid studying.
6. Pain - everywhere. Neck. Back. Arse. Never had I needed to sit down so much.

Got depression, suspect I've developed mild OCD, having anger issues and generally feel like bashing someone up. Don't eat as much. Preferrably someone high in authority and powerful. I feel angry at the cruelty, the craziness of this HSC.

Watch all my classmates and myself struggle with this madness, and get fustrated there is little or even nothing I can do to stop the madness.

LOOK AT US! everyone is suffering the same symptoms.

i really feel so sad for us... this HSC and trials and assessments! the best of us have become tired and moody.

someone at the Board Of Studies just enjoys watching us being tortured!

i bet people who go to war experience trauma like this!!! and you know, we're losing our best years of childhood... :(

I experience a cycle of depression and excitement (depending on what subject exam I'm about to sit). Of course there's the usual stress and anxiety of doing exams but after they're over, I'll probably be on a high for a few days.

Hmm...
- Excessive amount of Red Bull and coffee
- Excessive amounts of tears and tantrums
- Weight loss (I lost about four kilos...which is shitty, because people accuse me of eating disorers as it is)
- Increased feelings of rage and resentment toward my mother.
- Increase in libido (Yeah...I wish there was a reasonable explanation for that. Maybe it was the Red Bull...)

Holy...I have never been so exhausted in my life!! I come out of my exams with no brain power left whatsoever...also, I find that I have become quite incapable of spelling words correctly...
Also the stress is something that has an adverse affect on my entire bodily functions - I won't gross you out with details...lol
I wish I was more organised and motivated sometimes...
