I just finished my chemistry study-binge

[Michael Hill]

Since Friday, I've crammed in 30 hours of relearning my whole chemistry class, which includes reading all the reading assignments, listening to podcasts of lectures and other stuff. I have this chem exam tomorrow at 3:30, and I actually feel somewhat confident about it. WOOHOO! (ya, I know it's probably not healthy or the best way to study, but the bright side is is that it's all still fresh in my mind )

I just finished a 1 hour study binge on Chem for my final tomorrow at 8AM... I guess it would be today then... uh oh... But yeah, that's about as long as I've studied for chemistry all semester. I only need a 17% on it to get a C so I don't think I need much studying to do... but then again, I averaged pretty bad on my chem quizzes, besides the two A's that saved my grade. Good luck! Wish me luck, too!

Edit: I forgot to mention that I've spent 75+ hours on a final research argument paper about Wal-Mart for my English 101 class. 10+ different drafts and about 30 various energy drinks later, I have an essay worthy of an A.

Chem is the devil.

Why would you compare studying for a rediculously long time to drinking a lot of alcohol in a very short amount of time?

The dictionary definition of binge is "a period or bout, usually brief, of excessive indulgence; spree." Yes, the term does commonly refer to drinking or eating, but that's not the only circumstance in which it can be used.

In this instance, Michael was sharing how he had been cramming for his exam. Some may call this a "studying spree," which is synonymous to a "studying binge."

I find chem really interesting (the 1 1/2 quarters we've done), especially when we light things on fire or blow them up! Or put red-hot crucibles under a stream of water and watch them steam! I love fire... it is a great thing.

Ah yes, those were the good times. Good ol' Chemistry. I can proudly say that the Chemistry classes at my school have another one of these "fun" experiments (in this case black gunpowder) due to my constant nagging of the teacher, followed by me making the stuff during AP last year. Good stuff.

And I just found out that on Wed. (during lab) we're burning different chemicals for spectrum analysis...I LOVE FIRE (and Bunsen burners)!!!! he he...

Well, I think I did fairly well on the exam. In fact, it's still going on right now. I finished 55 minutes early There were only a couple questions on subjects I didn't study or forgot about. But out of 35 questions, a 32 or 33 isn't too bad, especially on a college final exam. (CURVES FOR THE WIN)
