no more studying tonight, i think my head is gonna explode.

I'm with Peter.

I've been cramming for my last final for a couple days and I've developed headaches haha. Make sure you take a decent 10 minute break every hour and a half otherwise your focus drops and the material will wont be remembered. I generally take slightly longer breaks :).
 
At least you're studying... I have (2) 20 page papers due for classes that aren't even for my major, just stuff I took for the hell of it. In fact, the seminar for my major is the easiest thing I'm taking this semester, but I just can't motivate myself to get the research done on these, and the due date is coming up... but then graduation.

I'm very much over this crap.
 
I've only got 2 finals this year. Economics 102 [Micro] & my jury. Jury-the hardest part will be getting my tunes memorized. Economics i'm not all that worried about-i'm transferring out of my school after this semester. If i screw up, i can always retake it. Hooray for community college & open enrollment.
 
When you've absorbed as much as you can, it's time to get out and play for a while.

But I made it a point to minimize the number of classes requiring memorization during my college career(s), including my Ph.D. Memorization is usually more busy-work than actual learning. What COUNTS is the ability to apply knowledge, and that's teachers should be testing for.
 
I'm taking a break from studying right now. In 12 hours I'll be writing my stupid contemporary soci theory exam, which is going to be a pain in the butt since most of the theory is about globalization, post-modernism/post-structuralism, etc, where the main concepts aren't really bolded or italicized or anything in the text, so it all just bleeds together into one massive reading about how society is nowadays.

I can see it now: "What are the major ideas of such and such's theory?"

Answer: There are actually names for this ****?
