Nope. Not my brand of mania. I spend about 40 grand cash whenever I'm manic. My flavor. And I get bad tattoos that I have to get covered up when it's all over. That's actually how I got into graduate school. I was flamingly manic and decided one day out of the blue I was immediately going to start an advanced tract program for my Doctor of Nursing Practice.

Didn't sleep for 5 days while I took my GREs, whipped out essays like pancakes, polished my CV, got way more references than I needed, and spent $500 on application fees. All within a week. Damn creative, damn productive. And I managed to get accepted to every school. I ended up choosing UNC.

Monumental crash later, I've moved, transfered to UVA, and am drowning in the stress of that decision. I'm not super woman. I have no clue if I'll make 4 more years. I mean, it was pleasant outcome, but it's one I NEVER would have done with my kids not in high school yet.

Long way to say, nope. Not manic.
