Stressed Out? Or Out of Stress. Pick one...

Go ahead, pick one.

Me?

I believe I've overwhelmed my body's ability to produce whatever chemical it uses to implement the "Fight or Flight" response. What is that, adrenaline? I think I have used up my adrenaline stores for the next few years. That's probably a good thing. If I don't feel like fleeing when I get to the bar, then I hope I can work up the energy to put up a mental fight.

Lack of adrenaline will probably help my golf game. But I won't know until August.

Very true, about needing the adrenaline. I wonder if I'm not just burned out. Whatever. As long as I can still get my study hours in I'm not going to worry about it. Too much, anyway. I just hope this is not a sign that I'm going to get sick. (Knock on my wooden head. Again.)

Where are you taking the exam? LA, SF, SD?

Taking it in LA - long beach i believe! You? I just realised i haven't done any MCQ's for about 2 weeks now :-/ Since the mock MBE thingy - that's gotta change when i wake up! Gnite! lol

Ontario, for me.

It's 7pm here, it's got to be what, 2am there?

Your nightmare predictions are the same for me. Probably for a lot of others as well.

I suppose that makes me stressed out :) Zen is good... unless it turns into apathy - I'm trying to save that for AFTER about the time results come back ;)

Exactly. I was saying the same thing to my study partner yesterday. I hope it's not simply the result of having resigned myself to failure. I've done that before.

On the other hand, I've heard plenty of stories about people who believe they've completely hosed the first day, but then go back with a "might as well finish the darn thing" attitude, and end up passing.
