Before. After.

BEFORE:
- concept of time is not forward, but a countdown from the time a project is due ("What time is it?" "4 hours 'till").
- you understand what 4B, 2B, B, HB, H, 2H, and 4H are and have lots of each type.
- you have a 30, 60, 90 and a 45, 45, 90 degree triangle. Or two. Or three. Or more.
- you can live without human contact, food or daylight, (but if you can't print, it's chaos)
- time spent with friends must be scheduled way in advance.
- your parents have more of a social life than you.
- you have no life, and admit it.
- you confuse today and tomorrow.
- you use your alarm to tell you when to go to sleep
- you have an ample supply of B HB H & F and know the difference between them
