This started out safely: I was wearing the pink nightgown while doing chem homework. Then my roommate's boyfriend came over, so I threw on some pajama pants to cover my legs. Then it got a little brisk, so I put on some slippers to warm my toesies and a sweatshirt for my upper-half. I didn't realize the insane fashion sense of chem-zombie Kate until just now when I stood up to stretch after many hours of wearing this ridiculous getup.
3am... only 8 hours until the test. The night before any upper-level college exam (or paper deadline) is unlike anything I've ever encountered elsewhere. It's not like I don't study ahead of time.. I definitely do. It's just that the amount of material I'm responsible for knowing is so huge that I couldn't possibly do a "quick review" of it all. So I spend a day or two before the exam neglecting other important things.
Examples:
1.) I cancelled the ECOS meeting at 6pm. What'd I do instead? Chem review. (okay, I technically cancelled the meeting because none of the other officers could make it... but still.)
2.) My radio show ("A Date With Kate") is on Wednesday nights at 10. I got a text from the station manager at 11:09 asking why I hadn't gone on air... My lame (but true!) excuse? I was so caught up in my schoolwork that I forgot it was Wednesday. Yes... I forgot.
3.) Instead of collecting my field data after my Conservation Bio class in 7 hours, I'm gonna run into the forest and check the game camera before class so I have time to study before the test.
But you know what? I'm finally getting all the homework problems right the first time, and that's kind of a big deal.
