If you have finals and need motivation, try this. Promise to buy yourself the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album AFTER your final exams provided that you study really had and EARN it!

Muahahahha, RHCP rule...:!)

I like this form of motivation. But I refuse to send money to their record company. Too bad.

But meanwhile, you would say, "F*** the RHCP, I don't need to have it, and take up my time with studying for all the finals, life is not fair" I think such kind of motivation isn't that good. It'd be much better to give your friend most valuable thing you have, and say, give it back to me, only and only if I pass the finals with plain 90.

Cyrus, was it your method to study for the finals with such RHCP-based motivation?
 
Ummm, what?

Did you promise yourself to buy a RHCP cd, AFTER you passed/got a good grade on final exams?

Not seriously at all. It happened that you've gotten my sympathy in asking you silly questions, I don't really need to have an answer for. It's simple fun.
How many finals have you failed so far, if you've taken any?

What does fail mean? :confused: It's not in my vocabulary.
