Am I the only one?? Someone please tell me I'm not...

As an intelligent woman, I've always loved challenging myself..so, 8 months ago when I decided to embark on a computer science degree, I really didn't for see any surprises headed my way. All of a sudden, as I dive deeper and deeper into the realm of coding and mastering things like regx in Perl..I find myself coding for days on end, not sleeping, hardly eating, becoming almost reclusive. This may very well be the most addictive behavior I have ever exhibited. My friends, none of which have the slightest clue as to what a comp language is or does, are worried about me!!! lol It would appear that I'm being sucked in, I love it...I love coding...it's a whole new intensity and level of creation. Am I crazy?? Do other geeks have this experience?
