It's exam week at high schools in Vernon, and I know that you all will be super busy studying for them. When it comes to exam time, I've always turned to the professionals for advice on studying and taking tests.
If you get bored during the exam, here are some things you can do to liven the mood (trust me, your classmates and teachers will appreciate it):
10. Talk the entire way through the exam. Read questions aloud, debate your answers with yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out, "I'm so sure you can hear me thinking."
9. Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About five minutes into it, loudly say to the instructor, "I don't understand any of this. I've been to every class all semester long! What's the deal? And who are you? Where's the regular guy?"
8. Do the exam with crayons, paint, or fluorescent markers.
7. Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't know one, make one up! For math/science exams, try using Roman numerals.
6. Every five minutes, stand up, collect all your things, move to another seat, continue with the exam.
5. Bring a friend to give you a back massage the entire way through the exam. Insist this person is needed, because you have bad circulation.
4. Try to get people in the room to do the wave.
3. Get deliveries of candy, flowers, balloons, telegrams, etc. . . sent to you every few minutes throughout the exam.
2. From the moment the exam begins, hum the theme to Jeopardy. Ignore the instructor's requests for you to stop.
1. Bring a black marker. Return the exam with all questions and answers completely blacked out.
Happy Studying!

okay I have a few things to say about some recent blog entries.
First of all I (Andrea) won Kelowna Idol, establishing that I have superior talent to Nathan ( regardless of what BOTH White's belive in regards to Nathan's abilities). I am not going to be smug about my wn because it was close, but I think the message was loud and clear.
Secondly while Steve and I both attended UBC. I now see why I rarely saw him as he was forced to go into the obscure program of tree processing ( or whatever fancy name he likes to give it) due to his bizarre ten point plan for creating chaos in exams.
In as much as it probably won't get you ahead if you institute some of his stategies it would make you the coolest kid EVER.
coolness versus good grades.
I think everyone knows that being cool is way more important than graduating.
