And now a word NOT from out sponsers, as well as the five stages of the end of semester!

Let me first apologise for the huge gaps in between blogs.. it's just.. the blogger outline said "Update at least weekly"and that made blogging sound like hard work, so, just like uni assignments/study, they were put on the back burner.

Ah, Week 15, a time to take off the shrink wrap of those "Required" text books flick through them, and then wonder if you should know any of it. Exams are always been odd to me, for 11 weeks you hear "Now we're going to learn this new topic", then al of sudden "Do you remeber this topic, you're going to need it for exams." WHY is the human mind designed so that in a three hour period you are frantically trying to compose a cascade style sheet and you need to know what they are and how to use them to progress in your course, yet, for no reason at all you quote all the words to "The Pina Collada Song." Which brings me to...

The Five Stages of deathexams

1. DENIAL. Noramlly occurs about between week 1-13, associated with statements such as "exams are weeks away" and "Oh, it's okay to sleep through this lecture again, I mean, the sleep is better for me." Denial maybe visible at the beginning of week 14 with the statement "Oh I can't wait till exams are over, THEN I CAN PAR-TEY." This is only present in students in their first semester.
2. ANGER. Starts between Week 12 and Week 15. WHY THE F--- HAVEN'T I BEEN STUDYING EVERY WEEK LIKE I WAS TOLD TO. This stage is normally the first time this semester that any student studying advanced english will use a colloquism.
3. BARGANNING. This usually is one of the first times that an average student will go directly to a lecturer or tutor, in order to try and get free marks, usually met with limited success.
4. DEPRESSION.  Kicks in during the all-nighter during a time* which can be calculated from the time since the last break and the amount of red bull consumed/remaining.
5. ACCEPTANCE. Anywhere between 48 hours and 5 minutes untill the exam comensment time, there comes a time, where the brain goes through a proccess (much like the one of blacking out a painful memory.) of releasing morphine and endorphans into the blood stream, the student relaxes and, not quite audible to the human ear, says "Ah, let's just wing it."

This proccess has been altered to other university events such as before assignments and before results, but it has been proven that before exams is the time when it occurs in the most students

* Mathmatics students who still need a PHd topic can study this... please... it's for the greater good!

But hush now, exams will soon be over, the unit guide, soon forgotten in a blaze of glow sticks and various chemicals (even if they're only Glucose, Saturated Fat and Sodium Cloride.) and as the music starts up and the only thing you can think of is "crap its 

link href="../CSS files/CSS.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"", well I got question 3 wrong...."

Good Luck to everybody doing exams of some sort and remeber,
