Good luck, me

I have developed a technique for studying for exams. I guess I could call it "start early enough that by the time of the exam you're just so bored of it that you don't even care if you fail". That is an extremely good technique, may I add.

Since I like (read: am a little obsessed with) organising and schedules, this arrangement suits me perfectly. I don't get stressed over hundreds of pages left to read the night before the exam and I don't have to study so much at a time either, which would be just boring. To be honest, I don't really stress over exams, rather if I have a million and one things to do at once. Anyway, the point of my studying strategy is to give me a free day before the exam. For example, I am now here writing this post. I have Finnish finals tomorrow. 

Okay, I cheated. I studied a little just a while ago. But only like 20 minutes. And only because I really haven't studied so much for this exam. But seriously, I am Finnish, I can speak Finnish, right? You'd think so, but nooooo.... Why do they have to make such a simple thing like writing essays so difficult?

It happens every single time. I have more or less motivation and enthusiasm during the learning period and the day before the exam I am like "damn it, if I haven't learned it by now, I definitely won't learn it by tomorrow". Or then I get some miraculous, sudden blast of self-confidence and think like "yeah, piece of cake.. I'll rock this exam even with my eyes closed". That feeling could also be called a hallucination sometimes, according to my experiences...

Usually, the thing I think about the day before the exam is that I just want it to be over. A little bit like right now. And here's my advice for all my Finnish counterparts before the beginning of the final exam time.
