You know you're obsessed with school when...

you're conflicted about taking a few days off during spring break. My family asked me to spend this week with them because in a couple of weeks my parents are moving. My first thought was, "Oh, no. I'll never get anything done down there."

I'm pretty disgusted with myself for thinking that. Actually, I'm laughing pretty hard at myself now. I hope you are laughing, too (rather than shaking your head and telling me I need professional help).

I've gotten over myself and now I'm excited about seeing my family and dreadfully sad that my parents are moving. I can't believe they are moving. Wait, they move all the time, why should it surprise me this time?

You know you're obsessed with school when....
you paint the closet in the measurement lab over spring break. I really do need professional help, but that closet was discusting! I like to work in a clean, crisp enviromnent.

You know you're obsessed with school when...
you feel the need to justify you're action of painting the lab over spring break. There are less people around. It's the perfect time!

you derive supreme enjoyment over planning out your graduate course of study.

You know you're obsessed with school when...
You troll the internet for summer courses at educational assessment institutes and get really excited about taking off to Oregon for a summer conference in assessment, regardless of the cost.

You know you're obsessed with school when...
You constantly check your online class to see if someone responded to your post as if it was a chat room rather than a class.

You know you're obsessed with school when...
you feel like you can't go a whole week without meeting with your research group.

You know you're obsessed with school when...
you really do wish your seminar class was being held tomorrow.

You know you're obsessed with school when...
you dream about how to best analyze your data.

You know you're obsessed with school when...

Sounds like you're obsessed with school... I used to think I was obsessed with school but now I know I am just obsessed with setting goals and checking off tasks. School just lends itself well to those things... but so do running ranches and small businesses. I am glad you are considering visiting your family though... in the end the tasks won't matter as much as the relationships. Somewhere deep down-- you know this is true!
