Third Quarter Syndrome


1.) a time shortly after winter break (especially in the middle of third quarter) in which teachers realize they have done nothing productive the past semester and begin to cram to make up for lost time in the curriculum. this is a period of high stress and fatigue as now the victimized students have been slammed with double workload and have more homework and studying to do than ever.
2.) the effects of being under constant pressure and stress from heavy schoolwork. this may be anything from falling asleep in the middle of the hallway because you haven’t slept in 36 hours to losing 6 pounds because of not eating, both because you haven’t had time to do either.
(note: the term is merely named for when it is most likely to occur, but can pertain to any period of being overworked and overstressed.)
