This is just an observation of the general behaviour of human persons near exams time.

Hightened awareness of everything around you except your books. Everything else seems to take particular significant at this point of time. Emails suddenly become a priority. All of a sudden you realise that you haven't yet taken out the trash nor did some washing which you must urgently do, even though you have left it for the past few days. The symptoms of heightened awareness increases closer to the date of the exams. Most people experience a drastic decrease in these symptoms a couple of hours just before the aforementioned paper. Unfortunately, by that time it is usually too late to save the victim as he or she is most likely a goner already.

There are 10 hours to my exams. Death is a mere countdown away.
