- You cut out the conclusion of your final report (worth 60%) in the interests of "brevity".
- You have to develop an outline of a powerpoint presentation, and instead of using real text you fill the spaces with obscure movie references.
- You're so tired that your mates all think you're drunk.
- You stop at random points of your study and yell "I just want my evenings and weekends back!" at the wall. You wait for the wall to talk back.
- You form an intimate, yet unhealthily dependant relationship with your computer.
- You write up your final assignment in a pub... two and a bit hours before it's due... while drinking Guinness and Kilkenny.
- Your project partner turns up half an hour late to a meeting and you don't even care.
- Your meetings are twice as long because you spend the first half sitting in a stunned, eye-glazed fashion bitching about the project.
- You try to write a post about how you know when you're over study and ... feh.

Sorry, can't help. I was listening to some friends talk about their theses last night and found myself itching to be back!
"You start to wish you worked in a potato chip factory in quality control and never had to use your brain ever again"
you know you're over work when:
you want to go study again.
I wonder if it's possible to plan life such that you can actually switch between the two (work and study) every five or ten years, just to mix things up a bit. Difficult obviously, but maybe with some forethought.
I'm certainly not over study but I can add
- you have checked for an update to the (news/comic site/facebook) multiple times knowing nothing new will be there
Kat and Jim: yeah, I remember those days. I think switching between study and work would be awesome, just not the two together (worst of both worlds, sadly).
Andrea: *sigh* brainless jobs :)
Alethea: is it a little sad that I still do that when I get home from work out of habit from my studying days?
