YKYFTMW you are PROUD to be strolling all over Costco after a class, without changing knickers and sweat-soaked t-shirt, thinking everyone envies you..."No, ma'am, it's not a baseball uniform!"

YKYFTMW

you become incredibly depressed during exams, not because they're particular stressful, but because the time crunch means less fencing.

when you try to time your check-out so you can squeeze in one more practice, but can't because you have to be out within 24 hours of your last exam.

when you keep on thinking of awful things to do to your RA for enforcing that rule.

I agree with all of this, except I'm the RA and I fence with fellow residents (who are fencers) in the middle of the hallway. This is when you know that you fence too much... when the rule wielding RA runs through the hall stabbing her residents!

P.S.- At my college all the RA's have signs that have a list of where they could possibly be with a clip they can move to each place, just in case someone's looking for them... mine said things like "somewhere around campus", "here", "sleeping", and "gone fencing". Yeah, the clip was on that one a lot!
