This is it, MIT is in the middle of finals week and the final grind is upon us. My last final is tomorrow morning (exactly 12 hours from now) and I have not yet begun studying. That's right, not even looked at the material.
I've just woken up from a nap, ran to the store, and am now hidden away to study all night. It's a straight push through till morning, but I'm prepared!

And, as is customary, here is my music selection for this particular evening (I tend to listen to the same music every time finals roll around).

and I dig the choice of music, it's pretty folk-tastic

Likewise, I have a physics midterm exam tomorrow... and I have not yet begun to study either. It's probably nowhere near as hard as your last exam, though. Good luck, lol.

My secret all-nighter formula is a vending machine bottle of Mountain Dew for during the night, a can of Red Bull for the morning, and any techno by iiO on repeat.
Good good luck to you!!

So, technically, this wasn't procrastination. I was studying for the final I had today instead.
But no, the procrastination doesn't get better.

@Snively: Okay! I never assumed it was procrastination, but was curious. I am very concerned about procrastination and doing work at MIT. Ironically, I'm procrastinating right now! Haha...sigh.

That, my MIT friend, is beyond hardcore. I'm a '13er but I'm, after much debate, not applying to MIT. Cold isn't really my style. Anywho, good luck!

I don't have finals for another month and I'm still going to be up late. And I hate pretty much all drinks with caffeine in them. Its going to be a long night...

I listened to "Eye of the Tiger" when getting ready for finals as well...back in the '80s. Glad to hear that some traditions continue
