Educational Insanity

A summary of my week as categorized through the insanity of a graduate education:


You know you've reached new levels of educational insanity when...


you take a study break to brain storm on scenarios for low ropes facilitation, and after coming up with one involving escaping a burning ship to a ship that is not burning, the only other idea you can think of is to tell your campers to picture themselves going from one ground of being to another ground of being....


the light at the end of the tunnel is not necessarily because you're finished working, but that the sun is rising to bring in a new day before you've finished the last one...


(this one may deserve a warning...I heard someone say this, and, just to reiterate the point of the educational insanity phrases, for this to become a way to describe the educational process, there is something wrong...)

you relate your study habits to eating disorders...binge and purge...


you seriously consider connecting yourself to an IV of ever flowing caffeine...

This is a series inspired by Peter Allen:


You know you have reached new levels of educational insanity when...

you calculate the percentage of your brain activity.


You know you have reached greater levels of educational insanity when...

your brain activity is only operating at 37% +/- 1%.....


You know you have reached an exceedingly high level of educational insanity when....

your brain activity is below 25% and decreasing rapidly +/-1%....
