Time warped
The anticipation of a potentially challenging and enjoyable event positively colors one's outlook of life, but the dread that hits when it is over is worse than the "monday blues". What is more, the anticipation of a much dreaded event makes time seem to stand still. You wish it would be over soon and the daily routine resumed. Time seems to pass quickly when you're enjoying life, and moves at tortoise speed when you aren't. Bummer...
