Expectations

There are few expectations that traumatize us more than those we place on our own success or performance. I have post traumatic test syndrome (PTTS). S/S manifestation: undeniable urge to go diving and hang out at the beach. Periods of mindless TV punctuated by refrigerator raids, complete with standing at an open door trying to figure out what to concoct. Intermittent and symptomatic Rx: Napping and giving into the urge to reflect on the successes, and anticipation of the future. Few feelings like it in the world. I hope there is no cure. I did fine enough on exams to come back for block #2.
