KY: how to survive triples

If anyone watched Misfits, you would've seen an episode where the guy says he tripled himself, which meant puking shitting and ejaculating at the same time. Totally irrelevant but I thought I'd point that out because the word reminded me of that scene. Anyway, in KY lingo, triples are when there are triple blocks--three consecutive periods of a class...2 hours and 15 minutes of pure torture. I blog this for the faint of heart, to those who have been sleeping or find them too hard to get through. Never fear! Just follow these simple steps:

1. Bring sweets. Chewing on something sweet keeps you preoccupied and more awake! (but bring a lot)
2. Drink COFFEE before the class! Doesn't work all the time, but it has its effects.
3. If you're nodding off to sleep while taking notes, and your writing turns out to be sleep writing(where everything you write turns out extremely illegible when you read it after), write with a RED PEN! Bright colours keep you awake just as much as sweets do.
4. If your lecturer is boring, make them interesting! Ask questions, get involved, etc.
5. If you really can't take it, and you HAVE to take a little doze, put your head down and take a 5 minute power nap(especially if the teacher gives a break). Continuous sleep in short doses are better than micro naps during the entire period!
6. Use the power of pain. Inflict some pain on yourself, like a pinch, to get your systems running again.
7. DON'T LOOK AT THE TIME EVERY FEW SECONDS. IT DOESN'T HELP. AT ALL.

And thus concludes today's lesson. Remember, triples are when teachers take the opportunity to teach the stuff that needs the most teaching, so they're pretty important. Write down every important fact they say, and ask as many questions as you can. 

...and its 1 in the morning now. ok better sleep....which brings us to tip #8, have enough sleep the day before. I'm a hypocrite that way. Goodnight!
