Hey, maybe this is going to sound like kind of a silly question, but — does anybody have any advice for staying focused while studying for exams? I really don't remember it being this hard! I mean...sure, it's been a really long time since I've had to study like this, but it shouldn't be that tough to pick up again, right?

Though I guess I ought to know better than to try to study during Cordis, but...

Well, my plans to study during Sanguis kind of got...interrupted! So now here I am, going over everything, and I keep getting sidetracked by one thing or another. Half the time I want to get up and eat, and then other times I want to lie down and take a nap...ugh!

But I really need to stop letting so much time go to waste. I made a promise to myself that I was going to do this! And I've worked this hard already for months and months, I can't trip at the finish line now!

Jeez, maybe I ought to borrow some catnip from the cafe and sprinkle it on my books, I bet I'd pay attention to them then.

(This is actually my first time being a cat for Cordis — I guess you could say it's pretty im-purr-essive that it hasn't happened before now! Especially what with owning a cat cafe and all. I just wish it weren't so distracting!)

As a teacher and a Cordis, I feel like I should have some advice for this, but all I can really say is to have a ready supply of snacks with you as you study so that you don't have to interrupt your work when hunger strikes.

hey so
you ok now?

When are your exams? I don't even try to work during Cordis because it's near impossible.

Or just do it in small bursts. Aim for ten minutes or so at a time then do something else.

The Birdbox helps.

i'm cordis too, i know EXACTLY what you mean.

i had study snacks sometimes when i was in college. kinda helped that we had a cafe in the library. what if you ate AND studied?

side note: does catnip seriously work on you like that? bc this is my second cordis, and i guess the powers that be decided i'm an owl now? now you got me wondering i'm gonna wanna
idk eat a bug or something

You've become a cat???

I used to listen to soft piano music when I would study back in high school.

Taking breaks can help, but I was always the type to want to do everything and not get up.

Maybe go for a run or jog, do some sort of physical activity? Get your heart rate up and endorphins going.
