The most dreaded part of the year is here again, and this is going to go on for a couple more times during the rest of this year. Sometimes I am pretty glad that I have music to keep my mind of books for a while, especially when I can no longer think. Singing “Loving You” by Minnie Riperton might sometimes help, but I often wonder if the fear of not being about to hit that whisper register stresses me out more than studying itself 😡

I have somewhat decided to stop cramming for exams because there’s almost always going to be payback, and the process of recovery simply makes it not worth staying up all night – or for that matter, a couple of nights, just to cram everything in before the exams. I still have heaps to cover, except that I *try* to start as early as I can, or when I start panicking. Usually the latter is trigger 😛

Of course, with exams, I tend to find comfort in… Tadah! Comfort food! Duh! Hahaha… But just to give you an idea of what I really did eat – I had 20 pieces of Chicken McNuggets with Mayonnaise, Aioli and Mustard – separately, of course; a 9-piece KFC Chicken set – because it was KFC Tuesday, and probably heaps of chocolates. And some sweet Mandarin oranges. Of course, I didn’t finish the 20 pieces of chicken nuggets at 1 go, nor the KFC chicken; but now, just the thought of it is making me feel fat.

And of course, I try to keep as far away as possible from the bathroom scales :/

I have the entire semester’s worth of material to cover and I have about 2 full weeks left. Fingers crossed that I can cover *most* of it.

So, what are some of YOUR study strategies? (^.^)
