You know you're studying too much when...

...you dream about that which you are studying. While in some ways, this can be a good thing (I thought of several items to investigate further during my sleep last night, which, surprisingly, were logical and useful when day came around), it tends to overwhelm your sanity after time. This weekend I have been cramming for my exam on Tuesday. I have also been sleeping fitfully (blaming stress and the cold for that) and having half-asleep dreams where I see all the words and topics I've studied surrounding me and my bed. It's like my brain cannot turn off even at night, so it keeps working and working and waking me up. I realize, however, that it does not make sense to get up in the middle of the night to study, even though I feel 'alert'. It has become a bit of a struggle to get a good night's sleep, and I keep waking up ON MY OWN at 7:30am and getting out of bed. That is NOT natural, that's for sure. To sum it up, studying and stress suck, especially with a cold to top it off, and I can't wait until Tuesday at 4pm when I am DONE!!! DONE DONE DONE DONE. And then it will be a glorious and carefree world again.
