    It never fails.  My lovely science teachers here at the University of Georgia have done their best to stress me out.  I don’t know what it is, but my tests always fall into the same week.  Twice this semester I have had four tests within five days.  For those of you reading this, I am not taking any candy classes, these are hardcore Pre-Med classes.  My grades thus far have all been high A’s and that is certainly not of my doing, but rather a blessing from God.  Honestly though, the two biggest downsides to having my tests clumped together like that are stress and stress induced immune suppression.  Stress seems to be the root of my problems though.  When I am stressed, my lifts just plain suck.  I cannot lift hard and I have no strength.  On top of poor lifting, I usually experience some immune suppression and consequently experience some type of respiratory illness.  I just dont know what I should do.  All of my finals are the second week of December and guess what; they are all within two days.  Fortunately, finals are my least stressful time.  My grades have been high enough throughout the semester that I can really just turn on cruise control during finals.  Any suggestions on how to deal with the stress induced sickness are welcome. 

Coughing and Sneezing,
