how to survive exams with a smile on your face…
rely on obscene amounts of caffeine. or Red Bull. or maybe both.
take breaks to do amusing but useful household tasks like defrosting your freezer with a hairdryer.
eat easily prepared, fun food. Asda Happy Stars…like the potato smiles of my childhood but better 
and these days I’m a fan of HP sauce and fish or crispbakes to go with it rather than dinosaur chicken nuggets and ketchup. shame, cause those would have made a cuter picture!
climb a hill round the back of your house with some friends and take blurry pictures of the city at night.
swing a chain soaked in paraffin and set on fire around your head!
and again! ps: Katie, who lent me the poi to play with, is far more skilled than I and I have much cooler pictures of her playing with TWO strings of fire! (I stuck to one for fear of setting my hair on fire or similar 
), but I will give her the pics and see if she wants to post em! and explain poi, because I was just messing around for kicks and don’t really know how to do it!
give yourself a break to go out and buy yourself lunch. particularly if it’s Subway. my new combination: Italian BMT, cold, with spicy cheese, lettuce, pickles & BBQ sauce on Italian herbs & cheese bread. awesome.
and before I forget…ask me more questions on Formspring. my link was broken for ages but it was brought to my attention so I’ve fixed it now ask away! it will give me a good distraction during revision breaks!

Happy stars! I need some of them… Love the fire stuff – I hope Katie takes your hint and explains it
Hope the exams are going ok…it’s good that you are fitting in some fun stuff to balance things out.
Thank you for your kind comment too

I like your tips…I’ll have to keep them in mind for when I return to school. Don’t overdose on red bull though! haha!
Best of luck on your exams!

Talk about a blast from the past ~ I used to love potato smilies when I was little. Only decent part of school dinners.
The exams must be over soon, surely!? They seem to string them out for ages at Durham…and I think you’re a bigger star than any of those potatoes for coping with their torturous regime so well.
