What is stress? Dictionary.com says, "is physical, mental or emotional strain". What is strain? Dictionary.com says it is "to stretch beyond a proper point or limit".
What do I think stress is?
Stress is...going to bed and dreaming about the schoolwork that you haven't complete yet.
Stress is...spending a Friday night reading a chapter on Operations Research Techniques and Interpretation.
Stress is...going to bed with a book, or worse than that... two books.
Stress is...having to get up on a Saturday and Sunday morning like you are going to work to be able to
complete your schoolwork by deadline.
Stress is... when your professor points out that in your posting you confused decision analysis with another
evaluation method.
Stress is...when your professor announces that you have to bring a SWOT analysis to the next class and you
don't even know what that is.
Stress is...having a paper due on Wednesday and haven't start the research yet.
Stress is...forgetting that your children will be on vacation for a week and not making any plans for them.
For the last two weeks I have experience what stress is. Not that I've never had, but I've experienced it in another level. I have been push and pulled in all possible directions. I have been up and down. My body have been tested. I have been trying to function at full capacity. I have been sleep deprived. I found out how it feels to be caffeine intoxicated after drinking about 10 cups of coffee a day to be able to accomplish what was expected of me. The worse isn't over yet, but let me tell you a secret... I wouldn't like it any other way. The only thing I regret is that I will not get the Mom of the Year Award.
