Distractions

There seems to be an inverse relationship between the nearness of exams and the necessity of studying and the peculiar urge to do anything but study. If Y is the necessity of studying and X is the nearness of exams, then a graph of Y vs X might look something like the following:


This is readily evident from the utter lack of utility in this post. Oh well, I suppose I shall slip my neck back into Agamemnon's strap of fate. Fare thee well.

  1. For me, studying right before exams is a lost cause. I've either paid attention and know what is going on, or haven't and am sunk. Law school exams are typically endurance tests, so I try to rest my mind before hand...

  2. Well, fortunately (or unfortunately) I'm still in classes for which it is possible to cram. Admittedly, this is easier/more effective if I've been paying attention in class.

    Howes do seem to have the most admirable study habits. I really should learn a lesson from you guys!

  4. I have already finished my exams for this semester but can completely understand the feeling... I think what we need now is to see a graph studying over the whole semester (including the little spikes indicating various other tests and quizzes, and papers)

  5. :D I particularly enjoyed the units you used to convey the likelihood of you studying.
    Oh, and it's Agamemnon's strap of Fate ;) Trust me, that's one of the examples from the book that I had to use to argue my point.

    Actually I've just been baking, gigling, running, doing music, repeat...

    it's obnoxiously difficult to study during Christmas break...
