not so much study as get by, haphazardly, doing as little as I need to and skipping far too many lectures. At least at this time of term, when everyone ran out of adrenaline a fortnight ago.

I always leave things til the last minute. Invariably. Even if the day before is filled with other things that need doing and I have time to kill at the weekend and I know it needs doing, I won't believe it, you know? I'll tell myself "oh, you've got until Thursday" even if there's no time at all inbetween, I'll make up times when I could do it - the night before, the morning before, getting up at 7am and doing it before my lectures. It's like fractals. I try and persuade myself there's always more time, until there isn't, and then I drink coffee until my hands shake and I can barely type. Still, the essays I write this way seem to go down much better than the one's I agonise over. So it's all good :)

mmm... that's exactly the way I work. Although, my parents refuse to let me stay up all night.
