it is already 2:59 in the morning here in the Philippines. wondering why I'm still awake this time? because I'm a STUDENT!! haha! I still have to read a 106-page readings for my exam this morning.! lewl! obviously, i am one of those people who study for their examination at the last minute.. i just think that cramming is effective for me.. I have been living and dealing student life like that for many years. Many say cramming is ineffective and surely will make you fail a subject. Fortunately, i haven't experienced it yet and I hope I wont, not even once.. NO!!! haha! lewl..! XD

Hi attente! Atenista? Just tried to figure that through your nick. hehe.
Well like they said, if it weren't for the eleventh hour, we wouldn't move! Pressure keeps us going. Just like today, I only have a few more weeks to review for a major international exam. If you try to think, I would have started my review months back since I had all the time but I only study now, now that I am pressured to because the exam is fast approaching.

Oops sorry, I think I made the exam sound so grand. Hehe. Oh well it does seem to be grand in the sense that it's something that needs intense preparation. NCLEX is an exam for nurses to qualify for work abroad. I guess you know what it is.:-)

Back in college, cramming is the only way. lol! I think it's the best movivator for me to finish my projects. lol! I'm typically lazy and would just wait for the professor to give me an ultimatum because of failure to beat the deadline, by choice. lol! When i hate the project, i won't do it then i would make up for it on other things like quizzes and recitation. I'm just an average student. I guess you're aware of the bias against average students. Cramming doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing. Being able to beat the deadline after cramming simply means you can withstand pressure.

Fortunately, i did it too! lol! If you could only see the seriousness on my professor's face while reminding me to do my projects. lol! I would just look away on the field then smile. lol! But like i said on another post about cramming, cramming usually results in a lackluster job.

Of course, at my school people cram daily but not as intense as you do. 106 page reading, I'm glad I don't have to do that yet because I would definately be failing those courses lol Everyone that is asian in my school can easily get away with cramming so you might be in luck.

Hi sir/professor!
With God's help I passed all of my subjects. I was considered one of the regular students in our school despite being a crammer. Out or 45 students, we were 9 students who are graduating. But sadly, I didn't able to finish my SP (thesis), cramming won't work in thesis I think. Well, my bad.. I have worked as a programmer but my parents asked me to stop to focus on the SP. That's a good idea I think. So I'm looking for an online job now so that I have anything to do aside from my thesis. I don't go to school anymore since my SP can be done here at home. But I'll have my visit there when I'm done with my SP.
From where school are you sir? be blessed! :)
