T.G.I.F - incoming examination Thank God is Friday! Who else is looking forward to Saturday? Saturdays are usually free for most of us, except for someone like ate Jane that still has to go to work that day. This week is gone and we are getting closer to December; have you started feeling the winds of Christmas? I haven't started feeling it yet and it's probably because I'm still in the university environment where everyone is mostly focused on their studies.

Luckily I have only one paper to write this semester and I am pretty sure that's the reason why I have been too lazy to read (well, that and other factors π). My exam is scheduled for next week Saturday, which means I have just a week to get prepared. The textbook is about 280 pages and contains about 11 chapters, which I have completed just 1 chapter.
I have been getting distracted by a couple of things lately and I usually get back my focus when I go to school and see most of my classmates reading aggressively π and that's when I get motivated to read as well. It's funny how the brain comes up with different distractions when there's something important to do; although it's a very boring thing. I have no problem reading my major courses because I find them interesting, but this one I am reading now is a borrowed course and everyone in the university is mandated to take it. The course is a mixture of economics, commerce and there's even a little bit of philosophy in there and all these I mentioned are the subjects I hated back then in secondary school. I just can't wait to get it over it, but that means I just have to sulk it up and power through it so I wouldn't end up failing it and coming back next year to take it again. Things would have been a lot easier if I started reading the textbook from the beginning of the semester, but like I said before it's a very boring book. Yesterday, my close friends mentioned they are going to start going for night class; that's a huge relief. For those that don't know, night class is meant for students to read throughout the night till daybreak and it usually occurs in the school premises. That means we have to leave our house at night and assemble in any lecture theater, where we then read till dawn while having sleep breaks in between reading sessions. This is important for those that get distracted when reading at home, especially me that even get distracted by my bed π My friends and I have been going to night class for some years now and it really helps a lot to cover our courses before the exam day. I sometimes buy energy drinks like fearless or predator which helps me to stay awake and read more.
Right now, night class is my best shot at reading this entire textbook (or at least more than half of it), because I can't seem to focus when I am at home and I will do better if everyone around me is reading, and that's usually what the atmosphere looks like at night class. Closing thoughts I am still glad it's Friday, despite the threat of examinations which is around the corner. I am going to read a bit this night and then read more tomorrow (I hope) since it's going to be Saturday and I will be at home all through. Looks like my Saturday is already looking boring right now π but it's just something I got to do if I want to pass the exam. On that note, I won't be much active on this platform but I will still try my best to visit as many articles as I can during my spare time. It's just going to be a week of preparation or rather, a week of hell π© which will then climax on the day of the examination. I like to get prepared before any examination so I wouldn't end up looking clueless in the hall, and just like Benjamin Franklin said; **"Failing To Prepare Is Preparing To Failβ** **Thanks for reading πππ** **Friday November 19, 2021**

Night class isn't for everyone. We call it overnight here and many only read for few hours before they doze off. Hope you make use of the night classes. I wish you success in your coming exam too.
I also read for some few hours (maybe from 9pm to 2am) then I doze off, but it's far better than reading at home where I will sleep off before 11pm π
Overnight, drinking of energy drinks, little sleep I can never forget those experience. I hope you pass your exams
Thanks bro π
Don't let anything distract you especially if exam is coming .. I really hate it back when I was a student.. As much as possible, I want to focus on reviewing alone and won't mind distractions.
I will try to focus on my reviews for now until the exams have passed, thanks ate Jane π€
We are also in hell week though I'm at 2nd year college, our professor gave us task to conduct research and I can't believe that we gonna defend it. Another thing is lots of activities specially in Autocad, I have no enough sleep today since I do draw activities in Autocad last night and hopefully I finished it. Anyways goodluvk to your exam.
I will be doing my research project and defence as well next year which will be my final year in the university, I have heard those research can be really tough. Goodluck to you as well π
During the test just need to focus on the test. The focus of the exam is a bit lost when I focus on any external subject. When I was a student I used to pay special attention to the exam. I didn't think much of anything else. good luck mate.
It's hard to focus on the subject especially when it's boring, but I am going to do my best. Thanks Mazekin π
Exactly, when you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail, reading some test book is always boring, but you don't have any choice than to read it if you don't want to fail. Sometimes I will be awake through out the whole night just to read, and I will be saying " how I wish I'm on read.cash"π€£π€£π€£ Probably if I'm there, oh mary , you're going to fail.....lol Night class too is always fun, I'm still in the mood of examination, will be done by next week Tuesday, then i will be Free... hehehehe, just take your time to read..its important.
Exactly, anytime I try to read my mind always goes to read.cash π I will just try to focus on reading and minimize all distractions so I will be well prepared for the exam next Saturday. Thanks Mary and goodluck on your exams
Good thing you have a nigh class so that you have time to review for your exam. Goodluck. This week is our midterm exam
Goodluck to you too as you write your midterm exam π
I gave you some advice as a college engineering graduate a few years ago. I was also a finalist in my exams at times, and I spent early mornings without sleeping studying, then the next day it was useless and I looked like a zombie haha. That is why I advise you to take advantage of the days in the daytime, the neurons assimilate knowledge better, the night was made to sleep.
Wow, I didn't actually know about this before now, I am so used to reading at night. Thanks for your wonderful contribution ma'am π
We also took our examination yesterday and the day before yesterday. Probably, that's the reason why I'm inactive hehe. Is the exam already done? I hope that you'll pass hehe.
Thanks friend, I hope that you pass as well π
We did take our midterm examination last Thursday, that time i fail to prepare myself i did not take a review. So it is better that we should take a review before the exam.
You should always try to take a review before any exam, it's important. I will try to review as much as I can before my exam next Saturday. Thanks Faith π
God bless to your examination Kushyzee.π I know you can do it. Don't let the things distracted you. Just focus and neglect those distractions. I remember back when I was in college. I preparing my examination then what I did I have a music with earphones. It makes me concentrate. Find things that you are comfortable with during your study Kushyzee.
Yay, I also love listening to music with my earphones when reading, it helps me to focus and ignore all the noise around me π you're right Ramona, finding things that makes us comfortable helps us to study better
Yes we're the same Kushyzee. It help us a lot. Yes, since it's really important, it help us to be in concentration and do the things what we want.
Friend, you reached 100 subscribers! Nice one. Congratulations on this wonderful figure. We keep growing. We are going to eat the world.
Thank you Sir, I just noticed I have gotten to 100. We will keep going higher π₯³
Good luck Kushyzee. Make sure you read oo. You are so on point when you said something about different distractions the brain come up with when there's something important to do. I experience it yesterday just before our test.
Ah, you guys just resumed and you're already having tests? You lecturers have no joy o π hope your test went well?
Kushyzee Kushyzee Kushyzee!!! How many times did I call you? π That textbook is so big and wild and you have till from now till next Saturday to cover this book. Don't mind us here, we will always wait for you. Just focus and pass this course π
Thanks for you understanding princess π€ I will do well to focus on my studies for now
We have scaled heights far greater than this one my friend. Know that we are in this together, and in the next 1 week, we would have completed the task. do not fret!
π let me guess, you watch big bang this morning abi? We have pulled down bigger monsters than this, and thank God this one is even objective exam βοΈ
hehehehehe. I haven't watched big bang since yesterday. Just been surfing the internet and all. Yes, thank goodness it is objective, else we wouldn't dare wait until it is a week away to start preparing
I believe you can do it Kush! That's only a book, lol! It's awesome that you do those night reading thing. It's like group study although you just spend it reading. All the best!
It's indeed like group study, as me and my friends read together and we then discuss what we have read. Thank you ma'am for the best wishes π€
Ah, that's so nice! Enjoy then :)
Please try to focus more.. we still got you and would keep supporting.. this is big exam and you need to be fully present 100 percent.. I wish you luck and grace brother
