CSUS

Due to the volleys of reports, assignments and tests (let's call this RATs, since science people adore short forms so much until we have problems in remembering the original full forms), this blog is left to fallows. Ok, what about some something to share which resonates in most of our hearts?

With all the RATs haunting us, we kinda developed symptoms that frequently relapse in every semester. Let's group all these related symptoms under one name: Chronic Stressed Utarian Syndrome, CSUS in short (like I said we science freaks love acronym so much), pronounced as "scissors".

Here is the analysis of CSUS:

Symptoms (mild)
1. Insomnia
2. Short-term memory
3. Flu-like symptoms, let's call it H_utN_ut (UT as in UTAR), or "Hut Nut".
4. Paranoia
5. Trouble in focusing
6. Lost of time perception
7. Depression
8. Immensely strong urge to play (eg. L4D spree)
9. Slight insanity
10. Frequent Facebooking
11. PTS - Pre-/Post-Test Syndrome - extremely crazy before and after tests
12. Irritability
13. Extremely papyrophobic (fear of papers)
14. Very sensitive ears (to collect test hints/tips)
15. Unusually high affinity for beds and pillows
16. Telling extremely lame jokes
17. Laugh at anything, even it is not funny at all
18. Drama/Movie spree

Symptoms (severe)
1. Hallucination
2. Schizophrenia
3. Incoherent speech

Causes
1. Abuse of brain power
2. Incessant RATs
3. Unrelenting lecturers
4. Universiti Tak Ada Rehat - it says it all

Treatment
1. Gaming
2. Shopping
3. Eating
4. Sleeping
5. Taking phytochemicals that allow a person to disconnect from the harsh world and cruel reality
6. God's blessings, lots of them
7. Less RATs
8. Facebooking
9. More time
10. More more more time.

Another version of this disease is the ASUS, not the computer, but Acute Stressed Utarian Syndrome, which is much serious but the symptoms are of shorter duration.

So far, this syndrome is still under investigation. Probable tell-tale signs are:
1. Shock
2. Zombie-ness
3. Loss of hope

Anybody wants to add on to the lists?
