I soooo know what Lisa is talking about.  It seems that I spent my whole life preparing to get INTO university and now I've been here for one Semester it has just gone by in a flash.  Have I really completed half my first year?? (is it too much too assume that I've passed my exams?).  It's only now - that the madness of Seemster 1 is over that I can take a breath and have a think - does this mean I'm not a *new* student anymore?  does it mean I'm supposed to know what I'm doing now? and WHY do people say they'll be happy to just pas their exams when it is blatantly obvious they don't mean it!!   So is there a word for it?  For the shock of finding yourself on the far side of your first Semester when it still feels like week 4???
