Sweet exam time

There are times when you've been studying for so long and you're so tired of it that anything can distract you. Perhaps the refrigerator suddenly got filled with the world's delicacies .. not very likely, but it's always worth a shot to check. If not for the possible outcome of this trip to the kitchen, then at least for the little exercise you get. Physical activity is the number uno way of taking a break from the books. Especially cleaning becomes heaven during these exam times. It's a perfectly legal reason NOT to study, it actually has a purpose, you get your caffeine-tired body moving all while turning up the radio and bawling out your favourite hits.

The best time, however, is when you can finally put your little exhausted head on the pillow and safely close your eyes. Knowing that you deserve a couple hours of doing absolutely nothing. Or that was what I thought until yesterday. Something changed between last night and this morning. I remember turning off the light and my last thought was something like "ahh...at last" and then there was probably some snoring...

Normally, I would expect to be on my way to sunny beaches and coconut drinks. I was fooled. I got brutally dumped into a nightmare where a little red evil-looking devil chased me up and down short-run aggregate supply curves, which eventually became long-run and thus vertical. And I fell. We both did, it was too slippery. Still he managed to follow me. I tried monetary policy, tried to bribe the little devil not to chase me, but all I got out of it was to shift the aggregate demand curve. The nightmare continued and continued until we had been through what seems like every single chapter in the book and I woke up breathless and sweating.

Today is the last day before the exam, last day before freedom. And I'm thinking. Tonight, maybe I should pull an all-nighter like I know certain other people do... I will beat the little devil.
