Exam Week: Things To Do When You Have An Exam Tomorrow
Because WikiHow has possibly the best advice and how-to’s (usually with really compelling photos as well), I decided to try to get some inspiration from their How To Study page. This really didn’t facilitate any new studying habits especially after reading number four, so I decided that I could do it better and wrote my own steps to success. AKA this is what I did today.
- pulled up final exam review powerpoint
- printed final exam review powerpoint
- pulled up Twitter
- tweeted this super inspirational lyric from the song currently playing on my iTunes
- closed twitter
- got an @ mention notification on my phone, responded promptly
- wrote out class notes onto three powerpoint slides
- opened planner and used colorful markers to cross off all the things I finished last week to appear and feel more accomplished
- relocated because it was ridiculously hot where I was due to the fact that it is 73 degrees out on December 3rd and UofL didn’t turn the heat off
- walked to library
- saw a man skateboarding across campus with a crock pot, tweeted about it, proceeded to library
- took elevator to third floor because it was way too hot to walk up the stairs
- walked around the 3rd floor for seven minutes and determined there were way too many people and no good tables, which would obviously be detrimental to my focus
- walked to floor 2
- located table with a relatively normal looking person and enough space to spread out my study materials
- took out my notes, and only the notes needed for studying
- took out my computer in case I needed a break in the future
- stared at notes
- determined 73% battery life wasn’t enough to make it through this studying session
- located plug and charged computer
- looked at notes and highlighted things I already knew
- found Doritos in backpack
- stared at the other library patrons who were on facebook in order to make myself feel less guilty
- pulled out scrap paper to take notes on
- made a list of all the things I have done in order to study for my test tomorrow
- laughed at the irony of the new falling snowflake feature on WordPress… because it’s 73 degrees out
After all of that, I listened to this Asher Roth song to motivate me to get on my study grind. It also made me appreciate the fact that I am able to go to school. Thanks Asher.
