I've slept 5 hours for the past two days

Thanks to finals week. Not that I’ve been studying too much. A large portion of this time gained was spent just screwing around.
Didn’t sleep wednesday night (for 8am thur final), slept from 4PM to 9PM on thursday, and right now, friday at 5AM, I am in the computer lab, ‘studying’. Right now, a C on this final (whic is at 8AM) is what I’m aiming for. I kinda screwed myself over by dreading the huge task of starting studying and consequently trying not to think about it while I played counter-strike and surf the net.
Right now my eyes are bloodshot, my throat is sore from a combination of a cold and smoking too much cigarettes. I simply feel like shit.

Share your stories of sleep deprivation and/or self-defeating idiocy. And wish me luck on this final…

I’m too exhausted at the moment (due to finals AND work AND idiotic goofing off – er, I mean learning important things for future use from my fellow Dopers) to tell you any kind of story. But let me thank you for your post – at least now I can tak a little comfort in knowing I’m not the only one!

I’ve never stayed up all night for final exams, but I have pulled an all-nighter to get a term paper done… twice. Both times were my own fault for not working on it sooner and not properly planning them out. Thefunny thing was that after I did the first one (and barely got a passing grade on it) I swore I would never do that again and would plan my papers our more carefully. Well, that didn’t work out very well.

wakes up suddenly from doze …Huh, sorry, what?
