   I hear you! I am in the thick of my 3rd attempt (9/23) and even the
   easy stuff is a struggle some days. I spent two solid days last week
   going over redistribution until I literally was doing it in my sleep.
   But one thing, I can tell you is every way you can do it, what
   the debug screens look like when it does or doesn't work, and a lot of
   ways to screw it up. One of the things I definitely learned the first
   two trips is to not peak too soon. It's a bitch to be in the lab and
   find out you have no synapses left! Down time is an important part of
   that. I just had my birthday today and my present to myself was to
   rent a house on the coast and have a no-tech weekend. It really helped
   my frame of mind a lot. Now I know I have a month to go and hopefully,
   this will be the last one.

       I've been studying my butt off (and believe me thats a lot of
   studying!) for the last 6 weeks and am getting burned out and
   discouraged. I have three weeks to my 2nd attempt and feel like I
   don't know jack sh*&!!!!
   
       I took a few days off, but am still feeling overwhelmed at what I
   need to know.
   
       What do you all do when you start to feel this way?
   
       Thanks!
