All nighter
Tuesday - May 6th, 2008
So as deadlines draw near, students everywhere begin to mess up their body clocks by pulling an all nighter. The works due in, there’s no time for sleep! You sit down to work, and before you know it, the sun is rising again. But, oh no! What’s this? You’ve spent 9 hours playing pacman? DAMN!
Dissertation is in on Monday, so hopefully the late updates might stop, but, what with exams two weeks later…

I know how you feel. I got my AP euro exam coming friday. I’m nervous as hell but I can’t seem to sit down and study. Internet distractions and whatnot. and I still end up fucking my body clock.

Shit man I hated that period of uni.
The week of the deadline for my final year project I think I went through a pack of proplus every two days and slept about 2-4 hours a night. On the final day I ate 24 proplus in 18 hours and discovered caffeine intoxication is a massive help when playing quake 3 - reached the 50 kill limit in around 6 mins when my highest scoring friend was on 9. I had some very weird dreams that night.

All the best! And Apathetic Rant today is like I’ve never seen it before. Love the new angles, graphics and effects! But why oh WHY is the keyboard in the last panel doing THAT?!

@Bryan 0 So either good luck for today, or how did it go, depending on your timezone!
@Joe, hope the exam went well and you finished the essays
@mightykipper 0 It’s pretty tough at the moment, but it’s nearly over, that’s what’s keeping me going.
@Dan - Hey! Thanks, how’s uni going?
@speearr - Erm, it’s a it’s one of those new fangled keyboards, that, erm, interacts directly with the screen. [I guess the copy and paste devil has his revenge]
Good catch, I’ll correct it once I’ve finished this essay. Thanks for the compliments =)

You know the copy-paste devil as well? That bastard. Good comic though, I remember those days.

My exams were over a bit ago. For my hardest one I woke up at 6, got to school at 8 (I live out of town- it’s a 30 minute drive if I speed) and studied until my exam at one. And I only played pacman on my phone once :P
