It seems that everybody (including myself) have their exams coming up and I would like to wish you all the best of luck and no doubt some of you will need it.
Before I go on to what this blog is actually about I'd like to point out that while I am wishing everyone luck, if everybody is the people who read this, then everybody is really a very small figure.
Anyway you all no doubt have some form of revision technique.
During exam periods the number of statuses posted on Facebook increases exponentially. People will literally use ANY excuse to let you know what is going on in their lives. I certainly do not rise above this.
The last few magic moments from the life of James Watson have been:
- "Kenny Rogers at the Edinburgh playhouse? Who's game?!"
- "Loves Obama again after his speech about the future of NASA!!"
- "Come on Tottenham!!!!"
- "Starting to consider the very remote possibility that I should have gone to more tutorials this year."
Who cares?!
The very idea that I should post these things with the opinion that another sentient being outside my skull gives a toss is incredibly vain. I'd like to apologise now for all of them.
Anyway here is my exam survival internet kit. I will be making this up as I go along:
- http://armorgames.com/play/5665/the-flood-runner-2 - Fantastic game. Will while away many an hour!
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjnuBTPOaKY - The Butterfield Diet Plan. If you don't want to revise, I suggest you lose some weight!
- http://www.youtube.com/user/4oDDocumentaries - Tired of learning about things which you need to pass. Why not learn about other things which always seem to be more interesting than whatever your subject is?!
- http://www.kittehroulette.com/ - Look at a random selection of videos of cats
- http://uk.akinator.com/ Try and outsmart this person who tries to think of who you are thinking of. MORE FUN THAN IT SOUNDS
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm6cqpJvsT4 - Watch this repeatedly safe in the knowledge that you will never be in more pain than this man is in at that moment.
With these tools I can guarantee you will be able to procrastinate for many hours whilst you should be fulfilling more meaningful tasks that probably will get us better jobs. Really we should be happy to revise when you think about it. Better grades are a sure fire way of getting a better job, but in the short term we are far more interested in someone who we VAGUELY know on Facebook and what they are getting up to at the weekend. The term for it is time-inconsistency.
Anyway, I hope those links keep you wildly entertained for many years to come!
James
