The pneumatic -pbbbt-noise you hear-the one that sounds rather like an engine throwing a rod? is my brain squirting out of my ears under pressure.

I totally understand. I finished my degree at a university for 'adult students', meaning older people who had families and full-time jobs and what not. It was only one class at a time, but each term was five weeks! a whole semester crunched into 5 weeks and every single week there was a full paper due, and every single week full exams. I have never in my life...been under so much academic pressure. It truly was like being in end-of-term time at a regular college ALL the time. do you know they actually get people to come back there for graduate school?! aaaaaaaagh. but one day you will finish and this will all be worth it, head explosions and all. :)

I can totally relate and sympathize. I have four ten plus page papers due by the end of November - three finals in the first week of December (one next week), and two three page papers due by the beginning of December.

The only thing I've done is read the books and start researching - I haven't even started writing on *any* of my papers... The first is due next week...

End of the sememster is way stressful, innit?
