Also known as the post-assignment fatigue disorder.
Common among students in higher education.
Typical symptoms: tiredness, sore eyes, dull headaches, inability to concentrate and general feeling of emptiness.
Effective treatments vary for each patient.
This particular subject has relied on films, hot chocolate and microwaveable food.
After last night's belated Christmas party, my mind felt slightly unstable this morning. Especially in relation to academic work. Still, there was that second half of the last assignment of semester 1 to finish so, even though my head furiously protested against it, I had to get up and back to work. The momentary inconvenience did pay off though, since three hours later I was finally finished. Considering that a week earlier I wrote the same amount in half the time, it might not be such a marvelous accomplishment, but I don't really care at the moment. It's done, sent and receipt received.
I'm slightly surprised I didn't immediately fall asleep after sending the assignment, but a few hours later (after already having watched a couple films) it didn't seem such a great idea anymore. After all, if I had drowsed off at that point it would only have resulted in me waking up completely disoriented at 11pm, unable to fall asleep again before at least 4 o'clock in the morning.
Anyhow, right now I'm tired but not really sleepy, so I guess it's okay to watch another film before completely switching off my mind and slipping into the world of weird dreams that usually accompany PAFD...
Oh, also - today's record: four films down, none of them valid for the 250-project. Tsk... Well, it was an off day. 'Nuf said.
