Default You know it's exam time when...
 
Ok, so I'm procrastinating.... majorly!

You know it's exam/essay hand in time when...

1) Your room swings between spotless, and covered in books / past papers
2) Washing up becomes a welcome break from revision, rather than a chore
3) You find new and imaginative ways to procrastinate each day
4) You question the humanity of your lecturers/tutors
5) You try to impose "facebook bans" upon yourself... and fail
6) Personal hygiene takes second place to reading a crucial chapter
7) Eating habits become more and more sporadic
8) You could personal save lucozade/red bull from the credit crunch
9) You forget what a "night out" is
10) You go teetotal, or become an alcoholic
11) You start getting migraines aaall the time
12) You feel guilty for reading anything for pleasure
13) ANY book is more appealing than the one you should be reading (even Jade Goody's biography
14) You set your alarm to get up early and revise but end up sleeping in anyway
15) You are hungry all the time
16) Tidying up/cleaning etc is a welcome break from revision
17) You spend longer on online forums than usual
18) You spend ages browsing the facebook profiles of the people that you really don't care about all in an attempt to avoid revision.
19) you get guilt tripped by your parents for even suggesting something fun!
20) you get threads like this!
21) you wake up early, planning to start revising... but then just sit there or wander round aimlessly trying not to work, and then panic when it gets to the end of the day and you still haven't done anything
22) you suddenly develop a new interest that HAS to be researched/watched/whatever.
23) you can't get to sleep because of the stress!!
24) you see run over obscure elements of your subject constantly in your sleep!

any others??

I feel like I'm wasting petrol or something, leaving the car on when I'm inside.

You feel panicky and guilty because you should be revising instead of posting things on this site!

When you spending every minute on facebook browsing the profiles of the people that you really don't care about all in an attempt to avoid revision.

I literally sat on facebook most of last night so I wouldn't have to write essays, part of me wishes that our internet would ironically break but another part knows I definitely wouldn't be sane once the exams are over.

When your TSR post count increases tenfold.
When you suddenly develop a new interest that HAS to be researched/watched/whatever.

When your daily schedule goes something like this:

- Get up at 9 am, bright and early
- "Right, breakfast + newspaper for 20 mins - I deserve it"
- *Turns PC on* - "Right, I'll just check the web for a bit"
- 10 am - "I've got bags of time - let's just check TSR"
- 10:30 am - *web browsing continues*
- 12 pm - "I should start revising now". *finds past papers off Exam Board website, revision materials on web*
- 12:30 pm - "Right, I have all I need to revis- ... Ooh, what's this [news] about?"
- 1 pm - "Lunch Break! After all that hard work!"
- 2 pm - "Might be some more news/interesting forum threads" *checks web*
- 3 pm - "Right, let's carry on revising now"
- 3:05 pm - "Hey, is that a [insert mildly interesting thing] outside?"
- 3:15 pm - Back to revision.
- 3:20 pm - "Well, I've done loads today. I deserve an afternoon break."
- 5:30 pm - "Time to take the Dog for a long walk. Haven't done that in ages."
- 6:30 pm - "Dinner break!"
- 7:30 pm - "Well, I'm refreshed and ready for more revision."
- 7:40 pm - "I wonder what's new on the web?"
- 9 pm - "Yay! [insert favourite TV programme] is on! New series!"
- 11 pm "I've done enough work for one day..."

(And yes, I've just spent 10 minutes making this extra-detailed to avoid revising)
