3 more exams, and I'm done! DONE! well only for 2 weeks, then I'm back at it for another 5 weeks, but it's still 2 weeks off to do almost nothing except, pack, unpack, do laudry, repack, hit up the dentist, the doctor, catch up with friends, drive 12 hours, and fly for 6 hours... I know I"m missing something. Oh and find a job... But the end is in sight!
How close to being done is everyone else??

Well this time you can be the HappyGee, because I am going to be the BurnedoutFlower! I have 3 very long weeks and I feel like I will never get there.
My chiro doc who is doing physical therapy said I was burning the candle at both ends. He did a accuepunture treatment for my neck and for my anxiety, and I came home and took a nap for 3 hours. I NEVER do that. But what is bad is that I am actually crashing, exhausted, but I can't sleep, I have too much too do.
One of my classmates said she had been out of school for 3 weeks due to Mono. I HOPE I don't have that! But sh*t it sure feel like it could be.

I totally know what you're talking about. I think it's just end of semester burn out. One year I slept for the entire month of May, then I got up, and went and worked 2 jobs for the summer, went to school in September, Jan came, I only took 4 courses, ended up dropping one, and my t (through the uni) wanted me to drop all of them because of burn-out depression. The moral of the story is, school is tiring, and don't try to work more than you're cabable of during the summer.
But you're almost there!!!! It's only 3 more weeks!!!!!

I've had 2 exams today, then one tomorrow and 2 more next week.
Then I'm done, hopefully for ever if I pass, and until September if I don't. I'm so "examed out" at the moment that I just can't wait to finish.
Good luck with the rest of yours.

In reply to I have 3 left too!!, posted by cubic_me on April 19, 2007, at 16:03:12
Four more classes: 3 more quizes and one final exam in the class I like.
Two horrible assignments due next week and who knows how many more for the last three classes in the class I hate. He's got us doing an oral presentation in a writing class. I truly hate him. I'll have to take a bottle of clonazepam to speak in front of the class. Argh.
It's almost over, though my summer class starts June 12, so not much of a break. But it's my last class!

Thanks Gee for you inspiration! ;-)
I have to give a group presentation on Tues and I am now armed with my new weapon, xanax. lol
Plus this weekend if I can get my butt off this site, I need to write a 6 page extra credit paper on PTSD and EMDR treatement of it, using my own experience as a source. What fun! LOLBut I have 2 classes left and then the univ. gives the students a full week where nothing is due before finals. I could use more than a week to study, but a week will be good.

Just when I thought I was getting better, bam, I'm not. It's really knocked me right out. I have two finals to study for, one on monday and one on tuesday. My one on monday is worth 85% of my mark so I really want to do well, but I can't get my head into it. I went to see if I could find a walk in clinic to go to today to get some antibiotics (I'm thinking I have strep throat), and there aren't ANY in this city. I would have to go to ER and wait. Like that is going to happen... I don't have time wait for hours on end.
Sorry about the rant...

Sorry you are sick, I am beginning to think there is a corrrelation between studying and getting sick, kinda like a catch 22.
If you study to do well, it will make you sick because of the stress, if you don't study the stress of not studying will make you ill. No way out I think.
Keep trying, I hope you feel better. The only good thing I can say about it is, I would rather be sick when I had to study than being sick when I could be having fun. sorry, not much of a plus. ;-)
