six more hours!

As restless as I can get, I should concentrate on final revision in the next six hours, or should i not?
Are exams for us to show what we know and have learnt over the semester, or are exams the inspiration and motivation for us to learn and study. if we had no exams, how would that change the learning process? will we still have the passion, the drive to learn?

for example, studying the bible. we have no exams. as such, many of us do not actually know the bible as well as we ought to - considering that it is the word of God, it is our book of life, it is everything to us. is it really? how much information can our brain actually contain? and yet, with exams, we still forget what we learn a few years later anyway (sometimes weeks/days)- this comes back to the fundamental question - how much information can our brain contain? and for how long? what does it take, for us to remember. so if i go for a talk now on lets say, running - and its something im supposedly so passionate about and so interested in and im wow-ed by the information - and then a few years later, do i actually remember what ive learnt?

or is it perhaps - what we learn - we need to put into practice, for it to sink into us and our beings, or if what we learnt is directly relevant to our lives, then it makes an impact there and then and then slowly we acquire new knowledge and information and then we grow from there and then things become subconscious, we forget old things and we learn new things and then we just live our lives accordingly. and also things that are important will resurface again and again anyway - and then it slowly sinks into us.

hahahaha sam and her little bubbles of theory.
okay, this is just me procastinating. well six more hours! lets go(:
