I don't usually make dinner, my Hubby usually does. So what did I do tonight when I am supposed to be studying for a test on Tuesday night?
I made a lovely pasta, veggie and turkey sausage italian dish dinner and some splenda oatmeal and raisin cookies.
LOL ROFL!
Why do I clown around when its test time? I do get good grades but SHEESH!!!! I will end up studying like a fiend on Monday LOL OY VEY!
When I was in college, my apartment was never cleaner than when I had a big test or paper coming up. I would procrastinate by taking on huge cleaning projects - like emptying out a closet or taking everything out of the kitchen cabinets, washing them down, and rewashing everything before I could put it back in.
Back when I was in school my best friend and I would meet at 5am at the local waffle house and have a grease/calorie fest with lots of their great coffee. We would eat then review until time to go across the street to the college. Then a few minutes before the test we would say a "Hail Mary". . . which was a strange ritual for two people not raised Catholic. We didn't mean it disresptfully at all and we both graduated with B averages in our nursing classes.

I don't have any specific "rituals," but the morning of the test I have to limit my intake to a few small sips of water because if I don't totally dehydrate myself then I have to go to the bathroom during the test, which is the WORST feeling in the world (my bladder seems to ~SHRINK~ on test days from all the anxiety.) I also will eat peanut butter on whole wheat toast because it gets my brain going. After the test, I down a huge bottle of water and take a loooong nap when I get home from school.
