It is exam time once again.  Last exams for the year and gosh it feels like time for a holiday, not studying the nuances of mortgages or working out the standard deviation and variances of a population. 

It interests me that I always seem to be most productive when I am supposed to be studying.  Not productive in terms of what I should be doing, rather things that I normally avoid but would rather do than study.  I detest cleaning, abhor any physical labor, don’t like filing but do not like studying either.  Here is what I almost always end up doing when I should be studying.

• Cleaning
• Filing
• Exercising
• Playing Online Pacman, Tetris and Stick Cricket
• Programming Things that I have been putting off for some time
• Using the random button on wikipedia to see what I can learn
• Sharpening Pencils
• Surfing the Internet
• Staying Later at Work
• Ringing People I have not Spoken to in ages
• Watching Moves I have watched before and hated
• Planning What I am going to do once exams have finished
• Fantasizing about quitting all of my subjects
• Panicking because I have not done any study
• Ferociously Reading Books I have not read in ages
• Pretending that I do not have to study because I know everything.
• Listening to Music
• Playing Music
• Washing and Grooming the Dog
• Basically any bad jobs I would normally avoid
• Basically anything I love to do with my spare time - but it is not really spare at all

If you have any other things that you do when you are supposed to be doing something else - please leave a comment below;
