Good luck! I would omit the laptop though - I recently had to take an exam and the internet was the biggest distraction, particularly facebook and reading all your blogs!

Hee hee - that sounds like me right now - minus the grapes! Good luck studying girl and believe me sleep is definitely a necessity - you need your brain to be fresh so it can retain the max amount of info! GO AKA GO!

'liya, I couldn't hate you girl - you're a teacher who takes her students to the movies! Plus you're going to have to mark all those exams, I don't envy you there!
