Exam Fever

Every year, it's the same thing.

My face breaks out, all the pimples happily set free from wherever they were kept, joyfully having free reign over my face. I eat more, craving then chewing.

I study, feverishly reading notes for the first time. It's funny how people never, ever believe me when I tell them I haven't studied! I mean what I say, literally. Maybe it's because they always see me in the library or around in college. But if they actually observe me, they'll find that I'd be doing sudoku, or reading the paper, or blogging, or doing a thousand other tiny, unimportant, procrastinatory things. It's the same at home too. I'd have the best intentions to start studying, but suddenly my bed will look so inviting, and a 20-minute nap will grow monstrously into a 2-hour sleep. Why do you think I call myself the sleepypurplepiglet? Then there are novels to be read, pimples to be popped, nails to cut, stuff to arrange, et al.

But I digress.

Yes, it's the dreaded EXAM MONTH again!

Every year, I tell myself that never, ever again will I study last minute, that I won't procrastinate, that I will start revising and studying the moment I receive the lecturers' notes.

And every year, as a new term begins, I procrastinate in fulfilling my promise to myself.

*sigh* Yes, I am suffering from what is known as ALS - Acute Laziness Syndrome.

I know, I know. It's bad. I'm working on it! This is one thing I fear will be even harder to get rid of than my anger.

Oh well. Gotta go study now. I've finally learnt my lesson. Also, I haven't touched Company Law yet...
