Never liked them, and never will.
If there's one thing I've found out, studying in a group doesn't really help. I thought that since I'm no longer in high school, things would have been different - but in the end, humans are just the same. You end up talking with each other instead of really focusing on what should be focused on.
Not to mention that when every single person brings snacks along, the consequences can get pretty - er - unhealthy.
I had brought strawberry-flavored Pocky and candy. Zeneviive had brought along gummy snakes and fried rice. Christy had brought an entire bag of candy, with pineapple tarts and more candy. Willa brought along some candy - and Emma had brought an entire tupperware of blackcurrent-flavored jelly for everyone to share - not to mention that after two hours of basically not-doing-much, Christy and Willa went out to get chips and brought some back for everyone.
Zeneviive claimed the food sent me into the 'holy' mode - which was basically just me praising the, well, holiness of chips.
It was an overdose of food and sugar.
Fucking candy. Too much fucking candy.
I mean, we had one corner of the table dedicated to snacks, for goodness sake.
As each person could only book a group-study room for only two hours, all of us had wisely cooperated and booked the room back-to-back - resulting in, like, an ownership of the room from 12pm until 10pm.
Which would have been fantastic, except that I'm not interested into going for any group-studying from now onwards.
Sometimes the individualist method just works better.
So, yeah - the exams will begin tomorrow and will end the week after.
Not that I can say it's more stressful than high school, because it isn't. Nothing can beat slaving over twelve subjects in the CHS days.
I will be fine. I know I will. Sometimes all I need is some confidence, and the hard work.
After that there will be a two-week break - which will give me lots of time to write about things I've always wanted to write - eg: the pros and cons of working in a group for assignments, more Renaissance Rapier stuff, stuff about family, friends and relationships, anime (because - bloody hell, it makes me happy) et cetera.
And I could have time to write for TheFourLobes.
And I would apply for a writing job on the Creme magazine - because, heck, let's face it, I need to start out somewhere.
And I could watch anime for an entire day and write my stories. And draw. And hang out.
I can't wait.
