Since no teachers have posted anything remotely funny, I have to post something on my own (oh well).
Hmmm. Okay let's talk about what I do when I study.
The venue is important. I cannot, for reasons too obvious, study at home. (Actually I can, but I've psycho-ed myself to think that way.) So studying becomes quite an expensive business, because I have to constantly seek out quiet places to do my work.
No, not quiet. I just need a desk, some decent leg space, and my earphones. Then I'll order something (which shouldn't be too expensive), and start reading on my materials. After eating I'll start making notes (which are tedious, but can be entertaining. If I have the time, I'll post some of it up after exams. They're filled with comics and doodles and random commentaries.)
Different fastfood chains have different ambiences:
Subway
Ooh I like this one. The food is good, though I always stumble at the counter with indecision (eg, "Hmmm what's the difference between Italian and Hearty Italian? Erm how many sauces am I supposed to add? Oh my God no olives! No olives!"). The ambience isn't bad, especially if you sit beside a window seat. Oh yes, the importance of a window seat: you can stare at passers-by when you're bored, and if someone wants to hook you up you'll look like an artsy type. Subway has free refills too.
McDonalds'
I once got kicked out of Macs for studying there. End of commentary.
Okay no la it's okay but I'm pretty sick of Mac food and you can't really find seats. Plus, there will be rules-oriented lesbian grandmas ordering you around, and kicking you out if you bring outside food and stuff.
MOS Burger
Eh actually I haven't studied there before leh. But I think it should be okay. Especially with the orgasmic Ichigo Bliss (this frozen strawberry with ice-cream inside) - I think it should keep me awake. I shall try to study there later.
Burger King
Sorry, no commentary. I don't patronize this outlet after I puked my last BK meal out.
Starbucks
By far my favourite studying place, but it's also damn ex! And actually isn't much I can drink there - caffeine intolerance makes me nauseous afterwards. And the tables are pretty small... I don't know why I like it there. Maybe it's because of it's superb ambience - makes me feel high class.
Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf
Never studied there before, but the corec people always go there for our gatherings (when is the next one?). The frappucinno isn't bad. (Frap is probably the only thing I can drink - it's probably all sugar and ice with a liiiiiitle bit of caffeine).
If I'm broke, or I can't decide where to go, I'll hop onto a bus which goes to a faraway place (which is like 28, which goes to Tampines, or 88, Pasir Ris) from Toa Payoh and I'll just read my notes. I get giddy if I read stuff on vehicles though, so I'll read for a while, then stare at scenery. Oh, I must sit on the upper deck - it's more interesting this way. You get to see a large amount of people on the bus, like couples snogging, pitiful-looking Dad-and-Daughter, improper old man with young maid, etc, etc.
It's much more interesting than what Huiyao does: studying in front of the TV.
Okay I should be studying now... Cya ppl around.
(Hahahaha now my blog has the most interesting post amidst the blog circles I frequent.)
(Then again, that isn't something to be happy about. Sigh.)
