Part two in "HOSHIT IT'S FINALS WEEK!"

How to continue studying like a Sorcyress. Also, how to test like a Sorcyress.

0430: Realize that the break is done, and you should begin researching something for papery goodness.

0545: Realize that, for all that you've really truly been looking at researchy things, you're not getting anywhere. Decide to sleep, instead, mostly because you're *cold* and beds with boys in them are warm.

0845: Wake up because your alarm is going off. Mentally swear and turn it off somehow.

1000: Wake up because someone else's alarm is going off. Realize that you meant to get up a sleep cycle ago. Swear, get up, and do a minimal amount of studying.

1045: Give up because you're not getting anywhere and do some strange combination of catnapping and daydreaming while leaning on the bed but not actually in the bed because you're totally not sleeping, no really.

1130: Give up the pretense and curl up into bed.

1215: Realize you have an exam, fifteen minutes away, in fourty five minutes. And that you haven't eaten breakfast. Or finished your test notes. Swear, leave.

1230: Get waylaid by the pretty-things-for-sale guy. Find an ankh that, while not perfect, is pretty damn near close enough, also made of wood which is really kind of awesome for the whole nature-worshiping side of you and the fact that you like earth tones. Wince because it's just not perfect enough to buy without knowing the price. Decide it is perfect enough if it costs ten bucks or less. Ask the guy. Hand him the last ten in your wallet and put on your new permanent accessory. Mentally mark off a mission 101 goal.

1235: Get waylaid by four of your friends spontaneously showing up at the same time, all unrelatedly. Don't look at Lezzie-Beth's boobs, no really. Flirt. Hug everyone and go to the finals place.

1240: Write up your page of notes.

1250: Go in. Explain to the professor why the take home question took you four pages to complete. (Answer: Stupidity) Take a copy of the test. Take the test.

1300: Decide that you are far too stupid for this test and you're going to fail the class because you know absolutely nothing whatsoever.

1345: Finish one of the five questions. Realize that you not only finished it, you kicked its butt. Smile smugly at the test. Hear the test tell you that "It is going to kick your butt so hard you turn into a popsicle" Start worrying about your sanity.

1415: Finish two and a half questions or so. Realize you need to pee. Do so. Listen to Id propose calling someone and asking for the answers. Smile in a self-righteous sort of fashion when Superego punts that bitch across the lawn. Talk to yourself in the mirror.

1445: Having finished three questions, return to hating yourself, the world, and everything.

1500: Have the teacher call ten minutes, with one question to go. Bullshit. Flatter. Pretty much admit to the teacher that you've no idea how this one works and that you hope he has a good summer anyways. Draw a dinosaur, and a slice of cake. Write the phrase "And I'm going to go to hell 'cause I ruined an Elmo, making a filk for you" on the side of your paper because it's STUCK IN YOUR HEAD AND WON'T LEAVE goddamnit.

1508: Hand the teacher the test. Realize that you're the last person in the room. Pout. Leave.

1515: Wander around campus absently halfheartedly seeing if friends are anywhere. They're not.

1520: Go back to your room, totally ready to pack.

1521: Turn on computer

1522: The rest, as they say, is history.

MOOP!

(Also, anyone who can accurately explain the phrase "Kick your ass so hard you turn into a popsicle" will win a drawing or something because god damnit what on Earth does that even *mean*?!)

My guess

You are going to kick it so hard that it will fly into space, where it is cold and will turn into a popsicle?

Foot so far up one's ass as to act as the stick?

as far as that saying, here is my attempt.

i am envisioning the moment in cartoons where the character is so shocked they go all stiff.

therefore, if you get kicked really hard in the ass, therefore freaking you out, and scaring you so bad, you go stiff like a popsicle. extra points if you are in the snow.

but i think the explination by la_vie_cynique is probably more accurate

Why thank you! *bows*
I blame my brother. He always was rather vulgar.
