strangely, when my friend was stressed out of his brains just
before the exams, i pulled him out, took him to the city (we were
in melbourne for our uni) and did stupid things like buy a kazoo,
make noises at people, run around the city, go play games in the
arcade, go to music shops, go to CD shops to look around, eat
stuff, have a couple of drinks...
he was more relaxed after and studied better
