This used to be my strategy:
- Get up at 9-10-ish (if you can).
- Start studying and try to keep doing it at least until a buddy calls you.
- Go to the pub and drink with him/them.
- Go to bed late at night. (the booze simply soaks the knowledge into your head).
The very last day before exam however (with about 2/3 of the material left)
- Get up at 9-10-ish (if you can).
- Start studying and try to keep doing it at least until a buddy calls you.
- Go to the pub and drink with him/them.
- Don't go to bed at all but keep learning till the mornig (make sure to clean your teeth before the exam - a shower may help as well)
WOW
you have spelt your name wrong. after the "g" there should be an "enuis"

OR... you could just smoke a doobie and you should have no problems studying! Always helped me relax!
-
unfortunately i dont smoke, although gai's strategy sounds good, i think i could get that to work.
-
Well I tried...

I suppose i could take up smoking, help me relax

I have a test Thursday, and then the Final next Thursday. I'm taking the summer off.
Study before breakfast, at lunch, and, tonight, all evening. Then, tomorrow before breakfast and at lunch. Test @ 7pm.
For the Final, every evening until then and all day this Sat and Sunday, unless I finish all the study material. Then, I will rest.
This going back to school sucks after being out for close to 30+ years.

Well, I practically finished my PhD courses almost 3 years ago but haven't finished my thesis yet. The very final deadline is September so I also need to get my a***ss to work on it. Then a final exam and I'm finished.
So I know how it is to be delaying things forever
I should have actually graduated as a delaying major... -
Gaieus, kick your ass into gear. Not much time left, especially for a thesis.
-
I have never spent more than a month or two on a thesis...
By the time you actually sit down and start typing, the whole thing should be there in your fingertips. It's like art - a real artist does not start painting/sculpting/writing/composing until the whole piece is right there in his/her mind. Then you just "sculp the excess off the stone" as Michelangelo said.

anyone else smell that?
horse?

More wise word gai, although i usually think of it in terms of "whens the latest i can leave it?" (see previous post about pulling all nighters.)

Yeah, true to a certain extent. OK, say I've been working on it, collecting data and have spent weeks in libraries - I have just not started to write it down yet. Letting it cook in my mind a bit first...
