Life during exam phase

If it’s not exam day:

Get up
Go to the bakery
Buy some rolls
Go home
Eat
Brush teeth
Turn PC on and chill the whole day

If it’s close to exam day:

Get up a little bit earlier
Go to the bakery
Buy some rolls
Go home
Eat
Brush teeth
Go by bike to the library and learn hard

If it’s exam day:

Get up very early
Go to the fridge and warm up some rolls
Eat and brush teeth
Go to school and get the shit exam done

That’s life atm.
