Once In A Blue Moon

Signs and Symtoms:
-Tachycardia (rapid heart beat), cold sweat, insomnia, panda eyes

-Nausea and vomitting at the sight of lecture notes

-Hearing voices of lecturers like:
‘It is nothing but…’
‘Are you getting with me?’
‘Homogenization is to break the particles into small small particles..’

Warning:
Clinical signs and symptoms may worsen upon:
-seeing some kiasu freaks finish reading lecture notes and are now poring over mountains of reference books in library.

-hearing someone exclaim, ‘ I got 80 for natural product class test ONLY’

*roll my eyes, wishing I were deaf and blind so that I can be in my own study pace*

Risk Factors:
-Leave revision to last minute

-Sleep in class

-Skip lectures to complete PBL or portfolio

-Never read lectures notes during uni days

Complications
-Long-term exposure to high tension will predispose to breakouts, eyebags, weight loss/weight gain (depending if you have been so busy to exercise, or too busy to eat a proper meal).

-May result in failure in end-of-semester examinations if study plan backfire

Treatment:
1.Set an achievable study plan and STICK TO IT!!

2.Brain desaturation plan according to individuals:

- Blogging and chatting like what I am doing now =)

- Shopping, eating, listening to music like what I love to do

- Play sports like what I did last week
*missing badminton days in college*

- Go cyber; domination in WoW, CS or Dota will give you a sense of control *grin at guys*

3. Never compare yourself with others; do your best and God will do the rest. ^_^

Prophylaxis:
1. Always attend lectures and pay attention in class.
*a bit hard when the lecturer’s voice is zzz-inducing*

2. Read through lectures notes during uni days

3. Study once in a while

4. Lecturers should give class test on microbiology which has the MOST credit units!!
*sigh I am looking at protozoa notes for the first time and my brain is on the verge of bursting- Entamoeba histolytica, Toxoplama gondii, Taenia solium…*
