Okay, so I've been studying for all my exams for days now... I should be okay. This is just a break, anyway, then I'm going back to work. I don't think I'll need it, but I'm going to do that map assignment for Miss Pevensie anyway... I don't get that whole senioritis thing - grades are more important now than ever. How can anyone not be panicking?

Ohhhh god... I have to work on my application for the University, too. I keep rewriting my essay over and over, and changing it. It's definitely not good enough yet. I have to finish it already, though, or I won't make the deadline and then I won't get in and go to college and then I'm just... screwed.

Is anyone else studying tonight? Company's always better, isn't it?

Oh, and if anyone wants any tutoring before the exams, I can help with most subjects. I won't ask for anything in return or anything like that, I just like helping.

Deep breathes, my friend. I'm sure you'll be fine.

What exams are you studying for? Maybe I could help.

What is senioritis?

[ooc: meet transfer senior Caspian, who gets into fights now and then for being... a transfer senior with no last name who asks questions like this]

[dr_conscience]

I guess. I'm just stressed right now. I have to make sure everything's perfect.

I'm studying for everything... Math, English, History, Philosophy. I mean, none of it's too bad or anything, I just want to make sure I do well.

[sleepyseer.livejournal.com]

You'll do better if you calm down and take things one at a time.

[dr_conscience]

It's some dumb notion that if you're a senior, you're going to goof off all year in class because you're about to get out and are all distracted by that prospect of freedom or something.

I don't really get it.

[dr_conscience]

Maybe. I mean, I'm not studying everything at once, I just keep going back and studying each of them over again...

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Really? I have never heard of it... and I still do not understand it.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Well I'm going to be a junior next year so I won't have to worry about that anyways for a while at least. Though you got anything to prepare for Iqus test short of commiting ritual suicide or hoping he gets hit by a bus?

[fortunestrap.livejournal.com]

At least you are studying, unlike many of our peers. I'm sure everything will work out for the best.

[dr_conscience]

Well, it's a pretty dumb concept anyway. I mean, it's not like high school is it for education if we ever plan on doing anything, and if we want to get into the University, we'd better make sure we're not just fooling around this year.

Hey, have we met? I'm James Wilson.

Okay, you seriously need to relax, or you're going to scare off everything you've ever known. Why don't you take a break and watch a movie?

[dr_conscience]

You're lucky. I mean, not that the classes aren't enough to worry about, but college on top of it is a bit much.

Ohhh, I had him before. He's rough. I mean, if you've been doing all your work and staying on top of things during class, you should be okay, but I'd probably go over a few problems in everything you've covered to be sure you're ready.

[dr_conscience]

I never really got how anyone can just blow off studying altogether... I guess everyone's got their own sense of priorities.

I hope so... how are you doing?

[dr_conscience]

That might be a good point. I probably shouldn't overdo it... I mean, if I get too stressed, it might backfire...

A break sounds like a good idea.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought, that we should excel here so we can move on to the next step.

No, I don't think so, not formally... I am Caspian. We both have Ms. Pevensie for mathematics.

[fortunestrap.livejournal.com]

It is a bit hard to understand, considering how important the exams are to our education.

I believe that I am ready for tomorrow. I have made sure to go over the notes that we have been given, so there should not be too much of a problem.

[dr_conscience]

Exactly. I guess everyone has their own idea of what's important to them, though.

Oh, right, of course. Well, it's nice to formally meet you then, Caspain. You ready for the exam?

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Great...I'm really gonna have to push hard in studying after my break.

[sleepyseer.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

Do you want somebody around to make sure you don't fall off the wagon and start studying again?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Yes I think so, but I have every intention of completing her extra credit assignment. Just in case.

[dr_conscience]

I guess some people just aren't concerned about their education.

Well that's good, then. You definitely sound like you're ready... and a lot less stressed than I am anyway. I should probably take a break for a while.

[dr_conscience]

Well, it is math. It's one of those things you just get or don't, you know?

Let me know if you need any help with it, I don't mind.

[dr_conscience]

Yeah, that's what I thought, too. I mean, extra credit's never going to hurt, anyway.

[dr_conscience]

This is starting to sound like an intervention. It actually might not be a bad idea, though...

[fortunestrap.livejournal.com]

It's unfortunate.

A break is always a good thing to do whenever you feel overly stressed over something. Stress doesn't always make for doing well on your exams, either.
