I distribute my work to a hum so I can take it steady. If not, I work hard and play hard. I try to constantly think, review, analyse and revisit the things that were said and noted in the class I just walked out of. I get myself fired up thinking critically about how much more could have been developed and said, or how the information could be organised into a certain flow. Sometimes I pre-empt the kinds of exam questions that can be made from the material given. Because this all sort of happens in my head, I have achieved a record of doing very little crunch study and being very good at examinations. It's all about being prepared. I have treated course material as replacements for the London Evening Standard because it's actually more interesting anyway. I write down every thought I get in the margins - when I revise I feel happy when I notice I had written the same thought.
I get lots of sleep, but I have insomnia.
I don't have sleepiness during the day - my mind is always very alert, somehow. Physically always tired. Class makes me very happy, but my physical fatigue makes me down. I've been told I walk very slowly...
I was social and had excellent grades in my previous college, but the change in environment and culture has made me less interested in heading out. Not that I'm not sociable, just burning my free time with other things. Nonetheless, having no social life doesn't ensure time is spent wisely on studying either.
I go to bed at any time after 2am (this means even till 6am...) and still wake up without fail at 8am.
I had 5 A's for A levels (Singapore-Cambridge A levels, equivalent to AS levels and a year of foundation), all in one sitting in 2009.
