Do you ever get so much work done that you're amazed at yourself?

<p>Over the past week this has happened to me. </p>

<p>I read *Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally ... twice.
*I wrote my 12-15+ page Plato paper (it ended up being 14.5 pages by the way).
*Studied for my bio midterm and got a 100% (last Thursday)
*Studied for my calc midterm and also got a 100% (last Friday)</p>

<p>... and tonight I:</p>

<p>*wrote an outline on *Schindler's List<a href="the%20outline%20alone%20was%206%20pages...%20it's%20for%20a%2020+%20page%20paper">/i</a>.
*studied for a psych exam
*studied for a chem exam
*tutored someone in psych
*ate pizza
*ate 2 apples
*ate cereal
*drank a latte
*took a Zantac</p>

<p>... and now I'm going to take a shower (I take 2 showers per day), then watch an episode of "House" that I DVR'd a few days ago!!!!!!</p>

<p>I feel like I've accomplished a lot.</p>

<p>So my question is to you all: do you ever get so much work done in one sitting (or over the course of a few days) that you're amazed at yourself?</p>

2

<p>nope lol :P</p>

3

<p>Absolutely not.</p>

4

<p>Never.
I'm pretty sure most people have the opposite problem.</p>

5

<p>I envy your work ethic.</p>

<p>how the heck do people get 100% on college exams, esp. in calc and bio?
here, the class avg. for those kinds of courses are like 60-70%</p>

<p>One night a year...Christmas Eve...and then I collapse into a coma.</p>

8

<p>no unfortunately</p>

9

<p>more like i look at when i finish a 5 page paper in 6 hours the night before its due and say PHEW i cant believe i just wrote that all! </p>

<p>id much rather just hang out with my friends until the last possible minute and im really involved so theres no time but the last minute for work if i want to have any sort of life.</p>

10

<p>I dont feel like that from all the work I do (study groups, studying for exams like a month ahead, homework, projects, etc...) unless I get an A in the class/exam/assignment.</p>

11

<p>What are you majoring in to have back to back papers that big??? And where are you going to school?</p>

<p>Funny this got posted today of all days. Today (Monday) I had due:</p>

<p>*A 6-8 minute informative speech at 8 am
*A five-chapter bio exam for which I studied on Sunday for 7 hours
*A 30-problem set on the properties of gases for chem
*A 2500-word Comp 2 persuasive research paper</p>

<p>On top of all this, I have been DEATHLY sick since Saturday, and I have pretty much exhausted all the tissues and water bottles in my room. Thus, my voice was not the best for an 8 am speech. After a good nap this afternoon I pat myself on the back by settling down, watching some Family Guy, playing some Halo 3, ordered chinese, and watched the Da Vinci Code.</p>
