Use green highlighters. People absorb more info if it's in green I heard. I've got my English Lit exam in under a week, argh!

it may seem extreme, but this has worked for me. go thru all your notes, take out all th eimportant papers, and rewrite them. dont rewrite everything, just the important stuff. than read over thema couple times and your good to go, if a.d.d. knox can do it! than so can you ruby!

Ruby, do you have that really lame anthology with 'Poems from other cultures' etc? ARGH. Such a load of bollocks. They are the worst poems I've ever read.

I'm doing French(got my oral today), Art (already handed in the work), English Lit and Language, Maths, History, Double Science etc. I'm really scared about English next week.

the BEST advice you will EVER recieve:

[SIZE=4]TURN OFF THE DAMN COMPUTER!!!!![/SIZE]

seriously, it is the biggest distraction in your life when you have to study.

say g'bye to the cult for a couple days, you will be well recieved when you return.

yeh i was thinking of doing that, and hell, i will!

Ta-rah for about a month and a half! I shall return 16years old, with pictures from my prom, and hopefully a tad calmer.

Farewell!

Parting is such sweet sorrow!
