Signs of getting old: 5pm napping seems to be a thing.

Even if I sleep for 7 hours or 9 hours, if I'm staying at home especially during STUVAC, my brain just gets dead at around 5pm. So try to limit myself to 15-20min nap, or just go on social media. I also try to restrict myself from social media/youtube (except blogs, cause I still love reading everyone's blogs during exam times), since it can be quite time consuming/time wasting. I guess I do need to give myself breaks sometimes. It's weird if I get <6hrs of sleep I don't really need to nap, but I do get tired earlier. I used to never, ever nap at uni or home (excluding bus trips).

I think this 9th set of finals, I am a lot less stressed compared to previous years.  Maybe it's to do with the extra support, or re studying stuff I know...There really isn't much benefit to stressing, since it doesn't help you to memorise stuff more, or finish stuff. I guess as long as I don't trip up in prac exams, esp in the rigged LV prac exams...


Look at that fail rate, almost 20%...No idea how these stats even exist (not going to credit source cause not sure if it's even ok to make this sort of stuff public lel). I'm sure most of us also had a mark in the credit range, just not a credit grade...I really hope for everyone's sake that they don't intentionally cut numbers this year and everyone happily passes.

It's also a bitter sweet feeling seeing friends say it's their last week of uni, when you see them everyday between 2nd-4th years, and who've pulled you through the 'traditional death/fail subjects' i.e. diseases in 3rd yr. Then you hardly see them in 5th yr, and then even less since they'll all be working next year...

This wind is so drying, that I can feel my eyes and hands being dry...I just hope the weather stays cool until after exams, since I can't study in heat/too cheap to turn on air con. 

Perks of having a long driveway-kids don't come to bother you. Well, only 2 did. There's not many kids nowadays since I think everyone has grown up/moved away from the suburb. Our house is filled with an equal amount of junk food for study as it is with healthy food. There is a house 2 doors up who actually decorates their house, but probs cause they do have a young kid and a newborn. I'm too lazy to even walk up and see their deco. I can only see a tad bit from my desk,  but it looks more decorated this year compared to other years. 

Less thoughts and more study.
