A new semester, new changes ... I'm not quite sure if I'm excited or dreadful, just because my next classes are going to be quite difficult.  Physics, that'll be just a pleasant experience ... considering the teacher wants to smack me upside the head every two minutes.  He threatened to have one of his students break in my kneecaps even.  I'm not saying names.  And I'm not saying the man is out to get me, but I'm not saying much anyway.

And of course, exams.  Now, I'm no expert on exams, considering my marks are excellent ... until I write the exam, and my marks drop ten percent.  Honestly.  But, I am going to give some pointers on what I think are great ways for preparing for exams!

1.  Okay, now, this is one of my most crucial studying habits, because it clears the mind and lets you relax a little.  I don't care if it's fourty below or fourty above out there; take a walk.  I always go for a walk with my tunes a-blaring, just because the fresh air and the exercise gets you all cleared out (if you understand what I'm saying).  Some people, they wake up, study until the break of dawn, sleep for about a couple hours, and then they are back up and at it again like a hamster on a wheel.  Honestly though, your mind will turn to gooey shit if you don't give yourself time to readjust and breathe.  It won't soak up any of that goodness; it'll be like filling a sieve with sand.  And for all you that have read Fahrenheit 451, you know that's a baaad thing.

2.  Eat healthy during this time.  You may be like, "What the hell?" but let me just say, that when you eat healthy, you have more energy and you feel better.  Therefore, you are more rejuvinated and can do more studying.  My teacher's friend, all she ate during her exam studying time was junk, junk, junk.  She ended up passing out in her room from her lacking diet, and it was not good.  Don't believe me?  Well, too bad, I'll just be the one to benefit from my celery and ... eggs.  Rawr!

3.  Dance in your living room to Madonna, or music from the 80's.  Now.  I may be the only one who participates in the voodoo activity, but if I'm sitting there studying and the dog is pissing me off and my dad won't shut up ... I'll just turn on my stereo in the living room and PUUUMP IT!  Yeah.  Now like ten cars are going to be parked outside of my living room watching.  Oooh boy.
