Much Study Wearies My Body...A Socially Inept Experience

I just came to the realization today that I am an insanely frazzled person when I've been studying.

I've been preparing to take the State Property & Casualty Insurance Exam, and this week I've been hitting the books particularly hard.  As a result, I have not slept well since Saturday, I am having a very difficult time finishing my sentences, and I am unable to answer any non insurance-related questions. It's actually pretty sad how socially inept I become when I'm studying.  I had a run-in with a beautiful girl this morning and was completely unable to make any sense of my words or the things she was saying.  Pathetic.  Yes, this girl is super smart, and her beauty may have phased me a bit.  However, I can only think of one other time this has happened to me (normally I'm pretty suave...minus the superficial part), and it just so happened to be during a time of great stress in my life...mainly school. 

I think the only reason I realized my current state is because I haven't been in school for almost three months now, and for the first time in two years I've been relaxed.  All I know is I feel really sorry for everyone who has had to put up with me throughout the past two years of my academic obsession, and I can't wait to be finished with this exam.  I'm ready to just be myself for a change. Don't get me wrong, learning will always be a part of my daily life, but I am so much happier when I can properly interact with other human beings. Reading and studying are great, but I'm ready to do them at a manageable pace. More like a stroll down a beautiful lane instead of sprint down a treacherous hill.
