When we had rangers the last day of last season, I had an exam at 9am the next day.
Told myself:
"Just don't go, you must study instead"
which eventually became,
"Ok, you can have a 2 hour break for the football, but then you must study before/after"
But when it came to meeting my friends for the football it was then
"Ok, 1 pint before the game, but then back afterwards to study"
Which after the win became
"Ok, a few pints then home for an all-nighter before tomorrows exam"
Which soon became
"Ok, a few hours sleep, then up early for a few hours study before your exam"
Which became
"Fuck! I've slept in!"
On a side note I got a 19 for that exam, my best mark for that whole year
