It wasn’t until now that I actually looked at the covers of the books, and yes you are right they do look pretty crap. That said I am glad that they didn’t go and make some fancy fancy cover and change me an extra $20 for the privilege. Then again I probably am paying for some crappy picture of old mates bamboo.
24 - That i waited until I had learnt all the horrible formuls for correlation, sd, variance etc before realising my calculator can do it (thanks http://www.geocities.com/calculatorhelp/tibaiiplus.htm)

I have to have absolute quiet to focus. That’s why I go to the law library at the university in my city. No one is allowed to make noise, everyone is serious… now wonder lawyers are unhappy

I told everyone I was taking it in June, and hated to be asked a zillion times… “when do you get the results?” “did you pass?” So… 25- Having to tell people that you failed. This time around… just very few people know I am registered… Others think I am insanely busy at work

No one is allowed to make > noise, everyone is serious… now wonder lawyers > are unhappy i study at libraries too…but i enjoy starbucks more because: 1. noise keeps me awake and i cant start sleeping on the table when im tired cus starbucks will just kick me out thinking im a bum 2. i cant start staring into space like an idiot for hours if im tired 3. coffee and tea keeps me up, and i can chew on sth when i am dosing off basically it just keeps me awake 
althou their food SUCKS.

pretty girls like to study too…studying is fun!!! not trying to be ironic
Yeah I’d have to agree with #25 having to tell everyone that you failed, it’s not even an option this time - i gotta pass
