spring break coma

according to wiki: (the best and only valuable source on the web)

coma is the state of unconsciousness lasting more than six hours, in which a person: cannot be awakened; fails to respond normally to painful stimuli, light or sound; lacks a normal sleep-wake cycle; and does not initiate voluntary actions.

i fell into a state of coma. spring break coma. many college students, [[especially senior college students]] suffer from this form of coma. and i am here today to say that this condition is real.

i recently suffered from spring break coma as i tried so hard to come back to reality after an amazing week in california. but i fell victim, as many students do following the days of s.b.

1. i was practically unconscious the entire day from 7 AM - 8 PM because i was so tired. (that is more than the minimum 6 hours to be declared comatose. that is 8 hours.)
2. i was not able to respond to painful stimuli such as homework, readings, and doing my hair.
3. there is absolutely  no normal sleep-wake cycle after a full week of spring break. it is all sleep.
4. there were no voluntary actions initiated besides putting on sweats and eating cadbury eggs.

let's hope for a speedy recovery. i have to wake up to graduate. which is 44 days away. but who's counting.

when i wake up, i'll tell you all about the trip. i got into disneyland for $31. and i wore a cat shirt.

so when i began doing my research on coma, i really, #honestly thought the word was acoma. but contrary to my popular belief, it is really just coma. but the word 'a' is often used in sentences with coma. for example: "i fell into acoma a coma." much like the sentence: "i fell into a dog." not the same. okay. but you get it. i am smrt.
