A thread for boasting about impressive feats of studying.

After a week and a half of doing nothing except drinking and playing Orange Box, I've finally put in a solid-half day of studying. I'm sitting in the kitchen atm with the Analysis notes on my laptop, a mug of coffee, and the discography of Bonobo downloading and being listened to track by track on utorrent. This whole revision deely is really quite fun!

I'm on about one hour of linear algebra, which has amply filled my quota for the vacations. I really should do some wector analysis soon though, but most of it looks exactly like G&M (which itself was painfully boring for the most part).

I've managed to read through the vector analysis revision guide, I'm not even sure I can bring myself to read the notes I wrote myself. :/
This whole revision malarkey would be more fun if I didn't know I was going to end up squeezing it in at the last minute after procrastinating over my essay and nonlinearity all holiday.
Impressive feats of studying though, I've managed to learn a substantial amount about how to create a killer team of pokemon. There's 'maths' in it somewhere.

I printed off a whole bunch of past exam papers.

I wrote my first revision timetable on the night before Algebra I for the next morning in half-hour increments, and I felt so organised.

I've been doing Modelling Nature's Nonlinearity non stop since 4pm, (well apart from a short trip to battered for a kebab).

I've also written my revision timetable. I revise each subject from 2 hours before the exam until 5 minutes before the exam.

That's still better than my timetable (i.e. no timetable). :p

What do you do in the 5 minutes before the exam then? That's valuable study time.

I think he actually gets up and starts walking towards his exam room.

Doesn't Alex have to text him at that point?

He was talking about Chris, not me. Plus, that only happened once and it was after two nights with no sleep. :p

You of course had a brilliant reason for not sleeping for 2 nights and not being able to wake up on a most important of morning. Revising? Learning? Coursework? Writing for the mathemagician? :p

No reason for the first night but maths by computer for the second one.

It is before ten on a day when I do not have an exam and I'm awake. I know, I'm pretty crazy.

The impressive feats of studying should be happening any time soon...

I've nearly finished the only past paper (open book), I've gambled a bit and left most of metric spaces revision till after algebra 2. Lets hope that won't cost me.

Bow down and fear the wrath of algebra 2. Good luck everyone.

Banter the appropriate home of buggs (I may need sleep)

Well, if you guys had looked carefully at the logo on the front of Dmitri's shirt today, you'd already know the contents of question 1.
