And thanks sumi. I'm trying hard not to totally lose it and concentrate on my exam tonight, but it's not working. Blergh.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Would setting yourself a mini-deadline work? i.e., wallow in angst about that exam until a certain time and then throw yourself into studying for tonight's exam after that?
I'm trying that right now. I'm watching a little Friday Night Lights. Alhtough, I'm pretty emotional right now so maybe this episode wasn't a good idea? It's "The Mud Bowl".
Pretty much every episode of FNL will make you emotional, so...
Oh god, don't watch that, Aims.
Put on some loud music instead, maybe.
Hey Buffistas, do you need to add another member to the Pantheon of Super Cool Nerd Girls?
Surely Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper could use some company.
Consider then, the awesomenosity of Capt. Rose Valland.
There's even a cool comic about her.
Using the power of information technology (or at least scrupulous record keeping) she helped save the masterpieces of Europe.
sunk cost, Aims. You don't want it to pull down your grade on this exam, you want to KICK THIS EXAM'S ASS! D? I will stomp that stupidhead D, because I will get a high A on this next exam and my GPA will survive, only to RISE AGAIN next semester, motherfucker! TAKE THAT COLLEGE PEOPLE!
FNL - season 1: guaranteed to make you cry at least once per episode. And "Mud Bowl"? Not a good option.
Aw, Aims... lots of shark~ma for the coming exam.
Cash, I have no idea. If she's already driving illegally without a license, I'm not sure what else you can do to stop her.
Jesse, are all nuts a problem, or just pine nuts? I'd substitute walnuts if she's not allergic to those. Or just leave them out and use a little extra cheese. [eta: I've also seen pesto recipes that use pumpkin or sunflower seeds, but I can't vouch for the flavor of either in an otherwise traditional Genovese recipe.]
