Just wrapped up an INSANE week

ack, are they all going to be like this? Quizzes, exams, papers, discussions. Just submitted my final thing that HAD to be done this week, and I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders for the evening.

I do not know.
I know for me it has been that way.

I am taking four classes and I have so much to do each week.
I just make a weekly list of what MUST be done each day.
So far so good but it is exhausting.
On my one day off today, I have to go to a "field trip" of a local museum and write a report.
I love a museum but I want to relax!
I just keep reminding myself WHY I am going to school.

Keep talkin' full-timers, lol. I keep thinking "you know, you could handle full time, and you'd be done and earning money so much faster" but then I read you guys' stories about how busy your weeks are and come to my senses, lol.

I don't know how you guys do it. I'm barely above water with my 6 credit hours. No way I'd successfully navigate 12 or more.

Yeah I'm taking 13 hours this quarter and the first week it was easy peasy, but now the niceties are over and I'm up to my eyes in papers and projects. Sigh I usually like school but it was totally much easier with one 3 year old. Now I'm homeschooling and have a toddler. Gah!

Yeah... do not do full time unless you HAVE to.
I am in week six now and that AND a full time job.
Oh my god, help!
I am doing well grade wise, but it is hard as hell!
I am not allowed internet at work now, but when it is
slow at least I can read and study- which I do!

Wow, you have a full time job too? That's crazy!
That's a bummer how you can't have internet at work, but at least you'll get to focus on your reading and studies when it's slow!
