Well, I don't know how well you paid attention thus far but I'd say you're fucked. For the rest of the semester actually read/understand the material as you go through it. Then you don't have to cram at the end. Just refresh.

By the 9th beer just put your head down on the study material. You'll absorb it through osmosis. Easy.

secret released: study drunk then take the test drunk, release your inner creativity.
same mental state = same memory state.

perfect study habit.

usually i just give into temptation and say fuck the books, and grab a beer and boot up the ps3 and feel instantly better.

just had some Warsteiner's at the bar on 1st/Collins . . . had (3). going to bed. Set my alarm for 6am. the test is at 3pm. I think that's enough time to cram some more.

Don't feel bad. I couldn't even answer the question for my HI 457 exam today. I will be dropping the class tomorrow. So much for graduating this summer. I didn't even want to take 20th century intellectual history. The class was all that was left after I missed my sign up day. Stay away from HI 457, if you have trouble with philosophy because that is all that it is.

^It was pretty lame and I probably got a 0 on an exam that counts 20% of the grade. I have no chance at passing.

cramming works if you can do it without getting distracted.

I think of it as a big cop out though. You are likely to get the grade, but you will not remember shit from a class that you had to cram for three times during a semester. You don't want all of that tuition money to go to waste.

Well that went smooth! I just told my parents I won't be graduating this spring. My mom said she hadn't spent the $150 dollars on announcements yet. I was affraid she would say she had and would ask me to pay her back and I don't have the money to do that now.
