See, the problem with being a slacker, unmotivated bitch is that you sit down at the kitchen table at 11 AM and tell yourself: "Self, I'm going to get this damned literature search finished today!" and then you proceed to work in 20-minute increments interspersed with vast amounts of goofing off and all of a sudden, you look up and say "OMG,

Ah, yes. It's the contagious "Midterm rushpanic".
A common affliction of students who, when reaching those blessedly free midterm days, realise that "oh no!", they're not free, no, no, they are for work that they haven't managed to keep up with during the semester thus far.
Generally, there isn't enough time in the day when the brain, for some unknown reason, enters a time vortex, where it thinks only 1 hour has passed, when in reality, 6 hours have passed. The 6:1 ratio is only an average of course. Some patients experience 1:3, 1:4 and in extreme cases, it has been found 1:12.
This affliction is further compounded by "Lastyear gradsearchapplicationfilloutpanic". Yes, yes, very dreadful indeed.

Good luck.
