Any last minute words of support or advice before I begin a week-long marathon of school work that is going to kill me? :(

-4000 word analytical report
-Two tests, one of them is a 750 word essay
-Final project that was assigned in November but we don't have much of it done yet, it is massive to say the least. It's a combination of everything we've learned all year in every course.
-Another project...not quite as big but still a good amount of work.

All has to be done this week. So if I'm MIA from ATOT for a week you know why :(

*whine whine*

p.s. caffeine doesn't work for me at all. any other tips for pulling off all-nighters or nights with only 2 or 3 hours of sleep?

<< if caffeine doesn't work just keep drinking it until it DOES! >>


it doesn't, trust me! if anything it makes me sleepy. weird i know, but that's the main reason i drink decaf coffee and rarely drink any soda.

Week of torture? Oh, I thought you meant a self induced one for Spring Break. And the hairy butt comment was too much information.

PM me if you need any help, I would be happy to. Majored in CS and Phy, so I took just about every class.

OK this is what I do:

- What Scoorb said
- If you are on a roll, stick to it
- Be in a good mood - you'll be more productive (yeah, you can have some control over your mood)
- If you arent getting anywhere, go to sleep. It will be more productive in the long run
- Have a decent sleep before the tests. Apparently your IQ deteriorates when you are sleep deprived, and of course improves over that (up to a point) when you are sleeping right and generally healthy.
- EAT properly.
- Do not think about LOTR
- Do not think of a project as one task, rather think of a small part (say an hour's work) as a task - that way you complete more 'tasks' in your head and you have a better morale (and therefore output) than otherwise.
