I just received a package from my pa. There's a note attached, it says "Your mother and I have always felt bad about your dislike for a certain author. This book might help you reconsider."
I peek inside and see "Jane Au...." and shudder. My opinion of Jane Austen is pretty low, and this wasn't exactly a point of argument with my folks, but they did believe I was a bit too harsh on her in particular for no good reason.

Hakk: Write it down in acronym form. Just the main points. Don't try to remember everything.
it's just...such bullshit. There is a cumulative part and a part that is only stuff from the last exam. Except the stuff from the last exam has at LEAST 75+ more than the last exam had, AND these artists are much lesser known
And modern art is so much more difficult to retain and understand

yes, it is too late to be perfect. now you need damage control.
accept this, calm down, and try to put as many general memory triggers to get at least one mark for as much of the exam as you can. shorten your goals.
don't specialise on any one answer, or try to get it all right. you can't, it's too late, it wont help you. it will just hinder you. youll get into the exam and only remember that one answer you specialised in.
im telling you this as a someone with severe anxiety, concentration and attentional deficiencies and memory problems, so it's not like I don't understand what you are going through.
If you can't calm down take deep controlled breaths for a few minutes.
Then pick a random point beyond halfway and figure out what will get you at least one mark in all of it. Remember that one mark. Work with this method and don't think about anything else.
Trust me when I say if you can just generate a single memory trigger for any part of a question, the rest will be associated just through having done the course in the first place.
Panicking will reduce your ability to form memories.
Once you have reached that random goal, get some sleep. I don't know your time schedule, when is your exam?

(PSN: Morninglord) (Steam: Morninglord) (WiiU: Morninglord22) I like to record and toss up a lot of random gaming videos here.
I am severely tempted to play the KOTOR MMO just because you can be a storm trooper type character and one of your attacks is to smack someone in the face with the butt of your rifle.
Man, you know the girl on the couch girl that I talk about? Man, I was walking to my car after my final with one of the guys from my class and ran into her, said hi, gave her a hug, all that, and then we split because she had to go to a final.
Second we get out of ear shot the guy I'm walking with says, "Man that bitch is insane, I'd stay the hell away from her if I were you man."

You were talking about it like you could. I figured you must have meant "tempted to play it when it comes out" but I wanted to make sure it didn't come out without me noticing. That actually happens a lot.

On the bright side, she might be into some really kinky stuff
Also man, I swapped one masked white avatar for another white masked avatar, and a sig with three people in white clothing for a sig with three people in white armor.
Deal with it.

Have they shown any videos of the combat yet.
I want to play that game, despite all the evidence in the world that I should never play another MMO again.

I've already completely forgotten what your old one was.
Like, completely. If you tortured me for the information right now I wouldn't be able to tell you.
Is it weird that part of the reason why I find this girl attractive (not couch girl, different girl, actually girl that used to always sit behind me in my one class girl and told me to take another class with her this semester which I did girl, just so you can keep track) because she kind of looks like a boy?
Also: Curse you for having family cool enough to send you a zombie book at random.
My dad, a high school English teacher, used to play Goldeneye with my friends and I all the time. He wasn't great, but he always picked Oddjob and was good at running away and shooting my friends in the kneecaps and getting lost and dying.
Well, Goldeneye was pretty popular back in the day and a group of seniors at my old high school decided to organize a Goldeneye tournament in the cafeteria after school. My dad just happened to be walking by while a large group of his students were playing Goldeneye and one student was running around Temple unarmed, desperately looking for anything to fend off a would-be attacker.
My dad walks up unnoticed, quips "Go forward, turn left, then make a quick right. Sniper rifle." The kid finds the sniper rifle at about the same time he realizes what the fuck my English teacher just told me how to find a gun to shoot my friends in Goldeneye what the--
I wish I could have seen it.
Anyways, zombie book get!
Unrelated-- I managed to play a really cool 4E game with Keith Baker. If anyone else is signed up for his tour, you're in for a good time.

A little gay.
But that's ok.
Well how does she look like a boy? Is it her haircut, or her crotch bulge?
An unstable, crazy character pretty much has to be a Striker, doesn't he?
Not really.
Crazy Unstable Swordmage. Could even be just a regular swordfighter who keeps getting teleported all over the goddamn place by some weird curse in order to protect his friends and HE'S GETTING SICK OF IT AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUu
Crazy Unstable Warlord. "MORDENGAR, you remember THE PERSEUS MANEUVER? What we did BACK IN THE WAR?" Other Party Members: "Uhh.... what?"

Oh, I forgot to mention, no physical weapons. Pure magic use.
edit: True insanity just seems to preclude a Wizard or a Druid. I guess I could try an invoker. hmmmm....
I think I'll keep it that way, so I can ensure no matter what happens to the series I will always believe it to be a generally excellent show, regardless of how it actually turns out.

yeah that is brilliant
I saw that at Barnes and Noble a few weeks ago. They had a whole display dedicated to zombie books.
Don't do that.

They've shown a few short clips of people performing moves on stationary targets.
It looks very standard fare.
Damnit.

Your first avatar was of Clockwork Orange.
I see which one of us is putting more effort into this relationship.

To be fair, I've only had two.
Hair cut, facial structure, small breasts, manner of dress.
Not really.

This is so embarassing, we both show up for [chat] wearing the same dress! What will the posters think?
They'll think it's both weird, and a little gay.
I've only seen like, two episodes ever.
Medical shows just aint my thing.
