Hooray For Exams (Or Not)

Hello, hello, hello

Well I'm back everybody and better than ever! Well, to be honest, not really because six exams (that's eighteen hours worth as well as eighteen papers, not to mention a hell of alot of study!) have sadly robbed me of both energy and writing ability. So seeing as exams have been the bane of our lives for the last few weeks I figured that I would share with you an excerpt of some very funny 'exam tips' I found while attempting to find study help on goodtree (they didn't give me a great deal of assistance but they did make me laugh which is just as good when you're stressed):

1) Talk the entire way through the exam. Read questions aloud, debate your answers with yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out, "I'm SOOO sure you can hear me thinking." Then start talking about what a jerk the instructor is.

2) Bring some large, cumbersome, ugly idol. Put it right next to you. Pray to it often. Consider a small sacrifice.

4) Bring cheerleaders.

5) On the answer sheet (book, whatever) find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer every question. For example: I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts with my religious beliefs. Be creative.

6) Do the exam with crayons, paint, or fluorescent markers.

7) Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't know one, make one up! For math/science exams, try using Roman numerals.

8) Try to get people in the room to do a mexican wave.

9) Complete the exam with everything you write being backwards at a 90 degree angle.

10) As soon as the instructor hands you the exam, eat it.

Good luck for anyone who has any exams left ($20 bucks and bragging rights to anyone who does any of these).

A Brilliant Idea For Saving The World

Okay, sadly this idea is not actually mine, but instead is created by people who actually understand international economics and politics (just wait, in four years I'll have a combined honours in philosophy and political studies, and then I too will save the world).

It is completely genious, although to tell you the truth I'm still not entirely sure how it works. What I've figured so far is this:
1) It's called GoodTree.
2) You can find it at here.
3) It's basically a search engine that is a combination of google, yahoo, msn and a few others.
4) Every time you do a search you earn one American cent which goes to charaties focussing on issues on your choice.

It's really easy (and is seriously quite addictive, the novelty of seeing my funds slowly mount up has led me to do many random searches) so why don't you all get involved and then we can have a cometition to see how much money we can each raise before New Year!
