NEED BEER MAN! been dry for 2 weeks ---> conserving brain cells in anticipation for hell week I. Still I will suffer from a net loss of neurons due to sleep deprivation, (over) caffeination, stress, more stress, and more stress. Its always a pattern I realised that has been happening to me ever since I stepped back into school after the army.
The first round of midterms will elicit the most stress hormones in my system, because much is unknown, and with that bloody sponsor's noose around my neck (..grad school or wash testtubes, bitch!...), getting less than A for first midterm will cause the stress to cumulate for the second midterm. If not, the second midterm will be more relak-one-corner. That would be the calm before the storm. By the third midterm, with the nearing finals, everyone will be ramping up and the slackers will start waking up, and this will cause the curve to generally go up, eliciting more stress. All the stress will build up into gastric and sleeplessness by 3 weeks before finals, where I'd have nightmares about getting less than 3.8 and washing testtubes forever--> it always happens around that time. By final weeks, you'd be so stressed that you can't be bothered with thinking about stress anymore and have already resigned to put your head on the guillotine, and you'd be ready to kill yourself and start wondering why the hell u took the bloody course in the first place. And of course, Last-paper-syndrome. The night before your last paper, you don't even want to prepare for the damn thing anymore, but you have to, and its the absolute worst feeling in the fucking world. And during the last paper you'd be screaming to yourself to finish it finish it fuckhead! Usually when u end your last paper, you have the customary Headache, which is a result of cumulation of no sleep, info overload and generally being pissed off at the world and bloody sponsor.
Anyway, this might be the only sem where the first round of midterms feels like finals week. Got 4 midterms in one week and thus spent the day eating books.
O what a way to start the week ahead. Hey Yah here we go-ooooo-ooooooo here we go--ooooooooo, in the night when you're sleeping I will be up mugging and mugging and mugging, where we go!! (old army song, now converted to novel and new uses)
