That's me.
I always fared better in exams than with essays or coursework, yet for the exams I'd just read bullet points over and over for a few hours and with essays I'd be studying and researching for weeks. Makes no sense.
I'm good at bullshitting, evidently.

i look with bemused envy
at people who have pages of beautifully colour-coded notes. makes no sense to me. memorise, regurgitate, forget. that's how it works!

I'm familiar with those people
they just have a fancier method of memorising.

I used to envy them.
But meh, I was having egg and cress sandwiches and a glass of red wine with my mum when they were having nervous breakdowns over the causes of World War One.

hehe
I tended to stop revising at 6pm while in Cardiff, then go and smoke bongs until midnight. Then sit an exam at 9am.

Others would be revising all night.

Could never understand that. It still annoys the mrs slightly I think.
