During the lead up to the May 1998 IB exams, several things came to my attention. The first, and perhaps most important was that I actually knew very little of the actual subject matter on which the actual affect the rest of my life exams were based. The second thing was more mundane, being that if I didnt actually get on and learn some of it, bad marks would follow, and with them, the inevitable pain of lectures from parents. The third thing, probably the most interesting to you, was the realisation that the incentive of avoiding lectures from parents was not nearly sufficient to force me into studying. The result, however, of all of these combined, was that, instead of actually studying, I decided to sit around a make web pages about all the stuff I would have been studying if I could have been bothered.
