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?
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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".

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Pretty much every episode of FNL will make you emotional, so...

Because books.
Oh god, don't watch that, Aims.
Put on some loud music instead, maybe.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Aw, Aims... lots of shark~ma for the coming exam.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.]

Now tagless for your comfort.
Get her a bus pass.
Small town--no busses or mass transport of any kind. I wish there was.
