Top 10 signs of studying too long

Exam is near the corner, so here is something from medscape med student blog which I like to share to lighten the day a bit, even though some does not apply to us Malaysians like point 5 and 7. When did I have a bathing suit? And every morning all I heard is soldiers marching parade, I stay near an army camp.

1. You get excited about switching pen colors.
2. Your roommate comes home from a weekend away and says, “Surprise, you’re still sitting there! Have you changed clothes at least?”
3. Your mom calls and after talking for a few minutes says, “I’ll call back tomorrow and maybe you’ll be in a better mood.”
4. Unless you turn off your internet connection, you check email/cnn/gossip site/website of choice every 5 minutes.
5. It’s summer and 85 degrees outside but your bathing suit is still in winter hibernation.
6. Your middle finger starts to get that weird indentation on it from writing too much.
7. You can tell what time it is by hearing the squeaky school bus brakes outside the window (7:40am and 3:35pm).
8. Every single coffee mug is dirty in the dishwasher.
9. Your apartment is either really clean (because study break = manic tidying session) or looks like a tornado ran through it.
10. You sit still so long that reading about decubitus ulcers and DVTs becomes a little more relevant.

Well, I did experience sign 1,3,4,9 during the past end of semester exam. Point 4 seems to be the most relevant to me, instead of surfing net I just listen to the same music over 12 times in 1 hour till I sleep. So I end up not studying anything by the end of day. This time I bring down some old magazines, so instead of listening music I might end up reading something making my time worth. Point 9 also apply to me, in simple sense, some people get so bored they start been fussy of their surroundings; or get nervous breakdown.

Anyway wish all C205 batch mate luck for the coming exam.
