-- your husband doesn't even bother with sexual advances anymore, he knows that you would just laugh hysterically in his face. The disheveled hair and fuzzy slippers don't help his attraction for you either.

Yeah, one of my school buddies and I were laughing about this just the other day. We have both had our husbands tells us that NS is killing them! I think at this point no ones husband would care what they looked like!!! :lol2:

... all the study rooms are full, but the games room is empty

... you study while waiting at an appointment, or in line, and it seems like a perfectly natural thing to do

... you have dreams of your study notes coming to chase you down

... your room gets cleaned, and your bed gets made just to avoid going back to studying

... you walls are completely covered, not with posters, but rather with study notes so you can catch a little extra studying time while brushing your hair

... you can't remember the last time you went outside

... and the next time you end up going outside is when you go to write your final

... and you realize how much the weather has changed while you were cooped up studying

... you don't have time to shower because you could get half of that chapter read in the same time that you can shower... who needs to smell clean anyways?

... getting dressed up means in jeans and a clean shirt as you have been wearing sweatpants for the entire week

... bathroom breaks seem like such a long break

... you begin to feel guilty for not studying, after spending the whole day studying and you just need to relax a little bit before getting a touch of sleep

... you feel guilty for sleeping

... and when you do try to sleep, all you can think about is the subject that you were studying

...your family calls just to make sure that you are still alive as they haven't heard from you in forever

... you reluctantly go make a quick run to the grocery store since there is nothing to eat in your house, and you complain the whole time while thinking of how much study time you are wasting

The kids are actually SICK OF eating out fast food and begging for you to cook or at least go shopping!

The fridge is full of stuff that could be an experiment for microbiology but nothing edible or drinkable can be found in house except for dogfood.

Yup! that is me too. My husband was beginning to wonder if I remembered where the kitchen was.

redbull suddenly becomes your bestfriend.

oooo and you're walking and crossing busy NYC streets, with your eyes glued to flashcards and hoping to not get run over.

I literally had nightmares the night before the final about CBC values, if that is not the dumbest thing then I don't know what is! After the final, I felt bad about going grocery shopping because I kept thinking that I had homework that still needed to be done. LOL. Oh and I passed the first semester by the way, I'm so excited! 4 more to go! :lol2:

... your room looks like a library threw up in there.
... you ignore your illness until you literally have to drag your carcass into the doctor's office only for him to ask what took you so long to come in and you look at him like he is crazy because hasn't he been to medical school?! Who has time to die??
... your friends and family, at this point in the semester, know not to even ask you to go and do anything with them. You don't exist until after your final date and they know this.
... our cars look like we live in them, and we pretty much do. Infact, we have so much medical equipment in them from practicing skills, that we could set up a roadside triage and first aid center if need be.

:lol2:

These are great! LOL

The most exciting thing to you is that you are finally going to get to clean your house.

-- your kids stop asking what's for dinner, they already know to filter through the freezer for whatever boxed meal looks most appealing.
-- you are pretty sure that you've now developed a pressure sore in the sacral region from sitting on your tookas for hours on end.
-- your husband doesn't even bother with sexual advances anymore, he knows that you would just laugh hysterically in his face. The disheveled hair and fuzzy slippers don't help his attraction for you either.
But,...YEAH! they're over as of yesterday. I had all this big talk about all the things I would do when this semester is over. I was going to clean and get my house back in functional order. But now all I want to do is sleep!

When I was in school, I called it deep ass thrombosis.:)

Been graduated since May- you guys hang in there, it really DOES END !!!!! Keep on keepin on. Enjoy your Christmas break! After you graduate, you work all the holidays and sigh wistfully at the thought of that month long time off you used to get!

That is so funny because ever since Wed I have been telling everyone I couldn't wait to be done so I could clean and put up my Christmas decorations! :lol2:

Hanabna · Dec 15, 2007

Finals are over, I cleaned my apartment, putting up decorations today....and yet I still don't feel "relieved" for some reason. Is that weird? Why do I still feel like I have more tests to do?? Why can't I just enjoy the break and worry about next semester NEXT semester instead of right now??
