I usually hate fielding characters, but I've just started on Imperial Guard, and pretty much all of the good faction bonuses are only available if you have a character.

It's pretty crap, IMO.

[Shakerag]

I've been a pretty regular reader of the sad and rage threads for a while now.  On one hand, I'm almost a little surprised at the lack of parricide.  On the other hand, I think it would possibly be unlikely that anyone who killed their parents would be announcing that fact on a message board.

I've lost weight. Far too much, actually, over the past few months when I stopped eating properly.

My shoulders no longer look as broad, my individual ribs not can be seen both along my side and at the front of my chest, my arms have lost their strength, my cheeks are sunken, and I generally just look unhealthy.

Urgh. And I can't really gather the motivation/willpower to start eating and sleeping properly to build myself back up again.

Eat more pizza.

I have so many things I need to study and my time is running out.
I need more time to cram all this into my head.

I wish I don't have to sleep.

Study everyday. Cramming will not darn well help...in the long run along with developing your study habits and learning, anyway.

Study even 15 minutes everyday. How one learns and understands (instead of the all-too-trivial 'studying', like rote learning [spending 5 hours a day readingreadingreading o-o...when instead one can directly advance themselves by getting the concept and making a hands-on technique with it {or analyzing the self for how they approach and remember ideas}] is via exposure. When you're constantly exposed to something, you'll find yourself associating with it and taking in detail as you observe it.

Running off your sleep just kills your health and mental strength more.

Drat. I've been doing it wrong

Two days before the exam, yaaaaay.

[Skyrunner]

Wish I could program more.

+1 to Tiruin. there's a reason I have an exam tomorrow and yet I'm sitting here contemplating whether to open a can of cider.
Admittedly the exam the day after tomorrow I'm rather less confident about, but I'm resigned to my fate on that front. Biology involves too many words for me.

Biologyyyyyyy
That's the one I'm revising for. And I used to like it. I now hate it with a passion. I can't wait till Friday is over...

GCSE Biol != A-level biol.

too wordy for most scientists, too sciencey for arts students.

And synoptic essays are a hell unto themselves.

[TD1]

I know, it's the case of pure volume of stuff to learn, for me. I'm doing A level Biology, and beginning to wish I'd done A level physics.

Protip for the words: Don't memorize them. Try and figure out how their etymology relates to what they refer to. One of the nice things about biology, compared to other sciences, is that relatively few things are named after people, and instead most are named for a function or other notable characteristic. There are exceptions, but if you can work out what the word means you can often figure out what it refers to.

My Ancient Greek GCSE has been more useful to A-level Biology than the actual biology GCSE

I find that that technique does mean that a lot of the wordy stuff doesn't bother me, but one still has to do a bunch of memorising for when things like this crop up:

Is that...some type of organ? Liver? Kidney?

[Dutchling]

Obviously the kidney.

[Arx]

It's a sort-of simplified diagram of the inner workings of a kidney.
