<p>No. I’d rather study old fashioned style. If I need a study group, I’ll find one on campus. I feel like the fact of just being on a computer will be distracting enough, at least for me.</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> I can’t believe we’re giving Facebook the power to take over how we do everything. I like Facebook as much as the next person (or perhaps the person after that, haha), but I don’t let it rule my life. I’m sorry that people are so lost to reality that they have to come up with ridiculous methods like this to bring them back.</p>
