A week and a half until exams and the past week i have been playing starcraft, watching starcraft, reading TL, theorycrafting, and now while im studying drawing a zealot over my notes. Anyways since you are all massive starcraft fans, and also a lot of you are in university what do you usually do when your exams come up? (poll format for ease)

also unrelated but digging flux pavillions latest mixes
I usually stop playing, but in turn I spend more time on the forums
I'm not one to request bans for myself, but sometimes I remove TL and other sc sites from my bookmarks, just to hold me back a little from procrastinating :-p
#edit: I actually have an exam coming up 42 hours from now
That's a very good question, different people give different answers. At first I stop surfing aimlessly and when the exams are in the next week I reduce my internet to e-mail and RSS feeds (hey, I'm an information addict) but I still watch STX and soccer matches and one or two vods of recommended games, you don't want to burn out.
My first exam is the day after tomorrow and I have done a total reading of about 3 hours this far. Do not end up like me.
If I could go back 2 weeks in time, I'd block TL.net, uninstall SC1/2 and HON, disassemble my computer and the screen, hide the parts at different places around my house and give the powercables to someone else telling them to not give them back to me for 3 weeks. Also, I'd consider requesting a tempban from TL.
FML, I'm the biggest victim of procrastination I know off. :/
If your exam results are important to you, consider doing what I didn't. You might not be as bad as me, but chances are you'll waste at least a couple of hours that you could have used on studying or a refreshing walk.
