As the title says it strikes before and during finals week. Symptoms are:
- endless hours of surfing the web
- texting, calling, IMing, etc. with people at all hours
- sudden urge to clean or organize
- scattered thoughts
- avoiding ALL studying like it's the plague
Luckily my case is only in it's middle stage so it can be remedied. My doctor prescribed frequent doses of reading and end-of-the-chapter exercise problems, timed breaks, no more than 1 hour naps to rejuvenate, and delicious but healthy snacks to keep me energized while I work. It's not going to be easy but my doctor reassured me that a full recovery is just around the bend.
