The (insert number) stages of Back to school

So everyone knows the like 7 stages of grief. Not sure I could name the all. Anyway I have recently felt like there must be a certain number of stages  of going back to school. 1st stage the anticipation stage or the question stage will I get in and if so what in the world am I going to take. How long will it take me? Will I get a job when I'm done? Then you have the matter of fact stage or the list stage. Ok I got in now what? So then you make your trillion and one lists of everything you need to do or get or people to talk to.  Next we have the shopping stage. Where you spend way too much money in the hopes that this time you will stay organized the whole semester. This is tied closely with the excitement stage where you can't wait to go and you think about all the people you are going to meet and all the things you are going to do. Then you hit the Panic stage which is where I am currently at now. In this stage you second guess everything in a way it's like the second question stage. Am I taking too many classes? Am I stupid to be trying to work 30 hours and go to school? When am I going to find time to study and do homework? Am I taking the write classes. Personally I don't know what happens after this stage. Hopefully it's something like self confidence or like the guy in the adam sandler movies that say "You can dooo it". Who knows only time will tell. Classes start Monday.
Last posts Shakespeare quote was rom Merchant of Venice.
