Exams start Thursday and end next Monday. Pretty quick. The problem is, I have no motivation to study, none at all. I sleep in, wake up and somehow end up snoozing again. I then awake in time for dinner and some telly before spending the last few hours trying to cram. Cram I may, I usually end up doing random things on the laptop since my notes are on it. Digitalizing my lecture notes this semester, which I thought would be my part in saving paper and the environment, hasn't turned out to be that much of a rewarding action for my studies thus far.

The Saturday before, fun times:
Which is why my exams need to end soon, for Round 2!
