eighteen days

ONLY 18 days left to study until I take the bar exam. ICK! I'm officially in panic mode.

Evidence of panic:
  • caffeine headaches from the time I wake up until noon when I usually get an iced latte
  • another headache around 5pm since I've developing a daily habit of drinking coca-cola or beer/margaritas every night -- which also hinders my ability to fall asleep until after midnight or 1am
  • extremely deep bags under my eyes and the inability to wear my contacts for more than 10 hours at a time
  • waking up every morning at 6:30am from a deep sleep with a fear that I forgot to set the alarm (but, alas, I never forget to set the alarm)
  • irradic and sudden bouts of crying and/or screaming
  • knots from the tension in my neck slowly migrating to other parts of my body
  • the inability to respond to other peoples' nice chit-chat (Them: "How are you?") (Me: "uh, same." "Uh, I mean, could be better. Life sucks right now, right?") (Them: Wierd look, "Uh, yeah okay. I hate studying too.")
  • constant worry over things beyond my control (i.e. the world economy, Pamela Anderson's grossness and her PETA craziness, when will Ryan Spilborghs return from the DL for the Rockies?)
Yes... I need your sympathy. I'm afraid things may get worse.

Ugh! You have my sympathy!! You should schedule a massage for the day after the Bar so you can get those knots out. I've been there with the crying/screaming. I REALLY wanted to quit my master's program 4 weeks away from completion of my final project/thesis. Lots less stress, I realize, but I can say I've been there with those emotions. Let me know how it goes!!!
