hmm... just realized that ive got over 1000 posts on this forum, participated in tens if not hundreds of threads, and yet my profile is rather spartan, with few friends and very few pms. maybe its because i mostly keep discussions in public...
wonder if its like that with you guys....

how the buying presents for friends and family coming along?

Friends aren't measured in terms of who responds to an electronic request to have a link to their profile put on your profile. ;) That said, there's no one here who would purposely refuse if you sent one.

My discussions are mostly public too. I have a very easy time keeping my PM box far under the full mark; emptying it once a year or so. Some people such as Roger are known for perpetually bouncing PMs because of a constantly full inbox. Different strokes; I use the PM system but generally sporadically.

Awful. One more exam tomorrow, then I'll crash like a stone, then I have to go christmas shopping.

I'm running on a 'sleep every second night' schedule; not cool man. Tonight is a sleep night.
 
How do you manage it? I'm incapable of skipping a night's sleep. I can pull an all-nighter but then I pass out in the day, and sleep that night too.

I've just realised, that I've used like.. 300mg MXE total in a month and a bit, and yet I'm going to have 500mg just for that one week in England. Plus 2 days of aMT trips.. and the 6-APB, weed, alcohol. I wonder if I'm going to be sober at all that week, jeez. 8(

I have a feeling I'll be leaving my friend some drugs hah, as if I can't find plenty of time for all the stuff I'm not going to be mixing it, or taking higher doses, just for the sake of using it up. (Though, there will be some "M holes" hopefully, with an 100mg+ dose or two of MXE :D)

I have a feeling this'll be a last ditch attempt though for a long time.. I still need a job so I'm not going to be able to afford to keep this up much longer.

...Also looks like maybe no DMT :(

It's very impressing how much time you invest, seems like you really deserve excellent marks. I wish you the best of luck. :)

The last two exams for me tomorrow, then finally a few days off, hooray :D

Good luck yourself, thanks for the kind words. :)

Indeed I do work my ass off. Unfortunately my last exam did not go as well as it should have. I knew how to solve the problems but there were just too many of them and not enough time. I guess it's not enough to know how to do something; you have to know how to solve it as soon as you see the problem and not spend any time grinding or taking wrong turns, doing trial/error.

Damn I hate unapplied calculus. I love physics, I ace all my physics stuff, but calculus is such a drag.

Well, I'm done, exhausted, strung out beyond hell. Valium and rest.
 
Yea end of semester! Proud to say I just survived my first semester of grad school

Down the hatch!
 
^ Now come on, that's hitting below the belt. Substance and purity level please (since you have the results ;))

Benzo kicking in, brain slowing down. :)

About learning the hard way vs. being given advice and impletenting it: I've heard from more than one prof that the night before an exam you should make sure you get a good night's sleep. Well I chose to neglect that in order to get more studying in. I have a feeling amphetamine may have impaired my judgement on that choice. After a 3 day heavy run, the mind starts to not work so well. Also, taking a dose in the morning right before the exam, because you only got 3-4 hours and you're groggy, doesn't help. I have a feeling I'd have done better on the exam with diazepam rather than amphetamine.

You just get so damn tense and anxious and the mind ties itself in knots. Looking back on some of the questions, they were so easy but I was looking at it from the completely wrong angle. If I had that test in front of me now, I'd have a ton more right answers rather quickly.

Getting out of an exam and having all the answers flood in, but knowing they're not on the paper is such a shitty feeling. In effect I bombed that exam; 60% if I'm very lucky. The way I feel it went and knowing what was on there and what got left blank, I'll be happy just to get a passing grade and call it a learning experience.

When you learn something the hard way you really learn something, whether it's proportional to the consequences of the bad decision is unclear.

Mwaha, the answer to both of those questions is in the picture


I second the advice that one of the best ways to prepare for a test is to get a full nights sleep, your mind will always thank you and repay you.
 
I definitely agree. Some semesters ago i used to study for exams and write lab journals during the nights. It took some time until I realized that this is a rather destructive cycle. Plus I forgot most of that stuff in a few days/weeks and needed to learn it again, when the next course began.
But i totally see the value of stim-powered studying nights in the case of emergency =D

Sorry to hear about that exam not working out that great. It's ridiculous, a lot of exams don't test if/how well the information was absorbed and integrated but who's the fastest reproducing the profs words.
 
Yeah, I got a bit carried away with the stim powered study sessions. Once you get on a run, you don't like to stop.

I know eh. Why have so many problems crammed into one test? They're in categories and the problems in the categories are relatively similar; if you can do 2, you know the theory and can do them all. Having like 8 per category is just a speed test; it doesn't prove extra knowledge. It just means those who didn't get them all done in time get docked marks for some being left unfinished.

Also, multiple choice on a calculus test is brutal. If you know the process and write it out but get stuck somewhere you don't get part marks. And if you make an error somewhere (decimal place, wrong key on calculator), you get the shaft.
 
luckily i was forced to listen to that advice on probably my biggest and most important exam so far. i had studied for months before and just before it was really strung up and excited and fearful. this was indeed before my first encounters with drugs, but nontheless, i had access and wasnt interested. i felt like i would burst at any moment, and that everything i learnt was in a fine fragile balance between my ears. the last days everything i read sounded familiar, like it was all there, but on trying to do problems and solve tests the results were always under expectations.
the day before the exam i was forced out of my apartment, so i would not study. i walked literally where my feet would take me. i walked for a total of 8 streight hours, round the city. i stopped to watch people in parks, to look at the river, to catch a bite. by nightfall i couldnt feel the soles of my feet, but all the anxiety was gone. it was as if i had crossed the exam already and was ready to start the life after it.
of course, that night, before the exam, i was still having difficulty sleeping and by morning some of the anxiety returned, but i wasnt as afraid as i was just waiting for it to end, to return to that place of calmness after the storm. the exam went exactly as i had hoped, and though i didnt do 100% it was still satisfactory.
i know i could have done better, but certainly not because of an extra day of cramming. my brain thanked me for that.

anyway, isnt it common knowledge that amps days before the exam are counterproductive? im no expert but thats what i read somewhere....
 
the other night on 2.2g of dxm i thought of perhaps the only statement that is false when expressed in human tongues, but true when believed with eternal faith.

"god is that which cannot be defined."
then i blacked out and my friends took me to the ER.

Man, this was like, every day almost for me back in uni (before I got really into drugs, just dabbled a bit in psychs at the time). Well not 8 hours, but a lot. My legs/feet were in constant pain pretty much the entirety of second semester (didn't help that I only wore dress shoes at the time).


Anyhow, did my first day of under the table, temporary, nepotisticly gained work today, got $50, I feel like Scrooge McDuck. So rich. Bought 1.75L whiskey, but psychosomatic nausea is ruining it for me (have I overdone it with the hard liquor too many times?). Well not ruining it, but I can't appreciate the semi-decent taste of this stuff (good flavor for the price, won an award, Evan Williams). Still gotta get oil for my car and stuff...
 
I don't think I ever want to touch bitcoins again. First a 4 day delay depositing money into a market site, which led to being able to get fewer bitcoins than intended as the price rose.. Now a 2 day bitcoin withdrawal delay on another site, and I'm unlikely to even receive them, as my bitcoin wallet address changed after I placed the withdrawal request, and the old one didn't get put in my address book like they usually do..

On top of that I owe my friend and bank a shit ton of money now.

Christmas doesn't like me this year :(
