I have no experience with mania, but the good thing is, you know something is happening. Just having that awareness and perception of yourself is great.
Now, next steps...I would talk to your professors, but maybe craft one or two brief sentences. Memorize them maybe, as a script. I like what other people suggested. Keep it brief.
And please be careful about crossing the street! I used to just cross the street haphazardly without looking when I was really depressed, not because I was manic but because I was depressed. God watched over me and I never got hit, but if you can, could you try to remind yourself to look first? Maybe say to yourself in your head. "Stop. Look. Left, right. Cross."
We want you alive and well!
