I went to bed 10 hours ago. I couldn't sleep for 10 hours. I have slept exactly six hours out of the last 72. Now I have to go write an exam.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

As opposed many people are to drugs, if this is consistent at times like this, I'd advise anti-anxiety pills if you can get them.

Because whilst they may have some side effects, you're not taking them in the long term, and not fucking up your exams because you're shot at is more important than... I dunno, feeling a little nauseous or something.

Alternately, create many coffee drinks and drink them so you've got more energy than a springer spaniel on speed.

Fun fact: The caffeine of three energy drinks spread across the day leave you a jittery, shakey, anxiety-ridden ball of final-exams-taking student-mess.

But on the other hand, the caffeine of two quick frappes plus some spessmen leave you functioning to 5:40 AM when you're a shakey, frustration-ridden ball of student whose allegedly-nation's-top-university-cannot-into-basic-IT-or-avoiding-clerical-errors.

Wow seriously though. I'd taken one energy drink per exam that day. One at 7:00AM, another at 11:00AM and then my last one at 6:00PM.

Never before had I had such anxious energy (and I mean like super anxiety) and no place to put it wow.

Stimulants~
Caffeine can kill you!
^{Totally general information, but still, is a nice topic to research in.}

[Gentlefish]

To be exact, the LD₅₀ of caffeine, the dose that would kill about 50% of the population, is about 175 milligrams per kilogram of human.

And the LD₅₀ of college textbooks is about 2kg per kg.

The more you know~

[hops]

I don't think you're supposed to have college textbooks in your bloodstream.

* The Darkling Wolf looks up, takes his textbooks out of the blender. Swigs some more energy drinks instead.

On topic, Mondays and Tuesdays, goddamn horrible schedule that leaves me in town for 12 hours.

Last week I got rejected when I asked a girl out for a date. "I'm not ready for a new relationsship yet."

I meet her today at the trainstation accompanied by some guy.

"Oh hai, this is my boyfriend btw. Say hi!"

WE SHALL MEET EACH OTHER IN THE ARENA, LADY!"

*Stuebi goes back to planning his life as an eternal single


On an entirely different and nerdier note, I can't freakazoiding beat the last Brawlers Guild Boss in WoW. Ahoo'Ru made me hate Draenei even MORE. It would be fine if I could get some decent raiddrops to replace my two shitty trinkets, but  droprate says NON!

SC2 servers down for patching. Doesn't matter since I'm going to play the campaign, but apparently you can't play that for the Starter Edition when the servers are offline. -.-

Ok, I was going to buy Wings of Liberty anyways. I buy it, and then run the new installer--but nope, my SC2 is still starter version. I have free time and of course it's down plus they won't let me play for no reason at all. Perfectly logical.

You've clearly not been to Uni.

Through your eyes.

* Tiruin remembers those days...

Inch(+~) thick books are fun. Rote learning is fun. They are primary tools to defeat the hoop of Uni. ._.
Didn't help that some of the instructors in those days were...less that caring :/ Though, given the student load? It's...understandable.

[Dutchling]

Shower ran out of water.

I was still rinsing and repeating >.>

Now I'm pretending to have food poisoning because going out with greasy hair is literally being Hitler.

[Tiruin]

Rage: Translations! D:<
Precision in finding that one word for a story or work is quite annoying when the lacking idea isn't in a thesaurus...

[timferius]

I found Osmosis to be a particularly good way to gain knowledge in Uni. Just meant I had to keep myself at a lower density of knowledge at all times. Wasn't too hard.

ACTUALY UNIVERSITY TIP: Sleep is important. Sleep helps us cement the knowledge we have learnt through out the day in to our memory. An all night study binge before exams is no good if you don't sleep.

My comment is lacking rage, so have a news story (can't find a good link for it though due to paywall site): Basically, special needs student is being harassed for sex from a co-student, who's known to the school as a semi-suspect in a bunch of different sexual assaults in the school. The school says they can't do anything without evidence, a teacher aid suggests the student agree to meet him in a bathroom, where teachers will be waiting to spring the trap. Instead, he assaults/rapes her in a different location. apparently the Vice Principle was aware of the plane and made no motion to stop it... Just, so much rage here.

Ok, maybe I do really have Nurgle's plague. It's the 5th day I've felt like shit, and my symptoms seem semi-random each day. First it was a head cold that moved into my throat and lungs....and now it's on its way back the other direction. That and I just blew my nose and the color of what came out was.....well, let's just say less rage inducing and more terrifying.

You know I did fly through Atlanta last week.....

[Frumple]

Well, you could check with a doctor...

... or give it another couple days. Fairly common for stuff to take a solid week to walk off.

Just... make sure you're drinking lots of water. If you haven't been, already. Always see people* that's sick say, "I know, I know," and then not drink their goddamn water.

And make sure it's water. Other stuff isn't as good when y'sick.

*Including me, fairly often. Is pain in arse to keep chugging liquids when sick, but need to, you do.
