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?)

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!!!
