Even though my audience consists of approximately 3 regular readers plus the people who searched for the Red-footed tortoise of South Africa, AKA Jabuti – I feel like I’m letting those 3.5 readers down by my recent lack of content.
My excuse is the Higher School Certificate, the exams which mark the end of high school. I’m currently in the middle of these minor annoyances, which after I get the results back will confirm just how difficult my professional life is going to be. It’s all on a scale from 50-100, basically ranking how intelligent (ability to rote learn lots of pointless crap) you are.
So, tomorrow – well, later today – I shall be sitting my 3 hour Mathematics exam. It is now nearly 3am and I have to congratulate my brain’s extraordinary ability to avoid work that needs to be done.
In the 8.5 hours since 6pm when I resigned myself to begin my epic cram session, I have accomplished the following:
- Memorisation of most critical formulae needed for tomorrow’s test ( I don’t need to actually practice)
- Learnt to play the verse riff from Muse’s Bside, ‘The Groove’, which has been repeating an endless loop in my skull for days
- Read the summary of all characters with special abilities from the TV Show Heroes
- Watched about 150 videos from YouTube
