Julia's Rules for Pulling an All-Nighter

Apr 28, 2009 19:46

 1) Give i-pod and Heroin Diaries to trusted 2nd party to hold hostage. Tell them they are by NO MEANS to give them back until project is finished, and that proof of completion is required for safe return.
2) Get jacked up on sugar. Soda, candy, pure sugar in the form of pixie sticks or Fun Dip. Have stock supply.
3) Take a calm, contemplative shower early in the evening.
4) DO NOT PANIC. Turn the clock to face the wall if necessary.
5) Have bottle of water next to computer.
6) Repeatedly remind self how awesome you are, how pathetically easy this assignment is, how fucking AMAZING this paper is gonna be! Geez, what the hell  is there to worry about?? Ha ha ha ha!
7) Cover bed with books, paper, bags, backpack, notebooks, scissors, butcher knives, ect. No way in fuck is that bed lie-down-able in.
8) Every hour or so listen to very loud, screaming death metal. Or country. Whichever is more horrifying. 
9) Allow self two (2) extraneous 5 minute online ventures, but NO INSTANT MESSAGING. Advise online friends that, if you are to appear on their friends list, they are to bombard you with messages telling you to GET THE FUCK OFF THE INTERNET AND WRITE!!!!
10) SIT YOUR ASS DOWN AND WRITE!!!!

Hopefully, following these simple steps, you too will be able to pull a successful all-night cramming session, and do it well! Peace out!

real life, school
