TOO MANY CLASSES.

[caregirl]

I am so swamped with my classes I am going nuts trying to keep up. I have 6 classes this semester and it is driving me crazy already and it's only like 4weeks since school started. I stay tired, and aggravated cause I always wait till like the last second to do my HW. I'm two weeks behind in my hybrid Education Psychology class and it's like 4 hours worth of work. I'm so frustrated, I sort of regret taking this many classes. I thought it would help me get them over with but I spend so much time at school that when I'm not there I don't want to do homework. I just want to sleep. Monday- 7:30-9:20 Biology/ 1:00-3:50 Acting/ 6:00- 8:20 Spanish Tuesday 7:45-9:05 Intro to Communication/ 9:30- 10:50 Abnormal Psychology/ 1:00- 3:50 Acting Wed Same as Monday Thursday same as Tuesday plus 7:00- 7:50 Educational Psychology and Friday only Biology from 7:30- 9:20. The rest of my time is either sleeping, eating, or playing paintball. I'm just pissed because this really isn't turning out how I planned for it too. Any ideas on how to fix it? I really don't want to drop a class, but is seems like that is the only option, or spend my breaks inbetween classes doing work instead of sleeping. Which is just going to make me more tired. What would ya'll do?

Do your homework in between classes and have fun on the weekends. O_O You're not managing your time correctly. You say you want to sleep when you get home? When are you going to bed? Seriously, last year, if I went to bed after 12 I'd be wasted. Now I can go to sleep at 2, get up at 6, and be fine. Mon-Fri. Sometimes, people can't hack it. So manage better. This severely fucked me Junior year. But now that I do, it's no problem.

You have 2 hours after your bio class, what are you doing then? Do you get acting shit. O_o It would seem to be you have hours upon hours of time if you used it well.

So when it comes down to it -> Go to bed earlier. You're obviously staying up later than you can handle.

My solution is simple. Don't do the study, don't do the homework, and wing it in the exams. I survived first semester, and I'm doing good at this current point halfway through second.

Alternative 2 - If that's not your cup of tea, can't you cut some classes out, and do say, part time study? Drop some of the workload and take it up again later when you do have the time?

Alternative 3 - take social life, kill it

Alternative 4 - stop eating sleeping and paintballing and do more study. not only will you develop a healthy case of anorexia and sleep deprivation, but your body will thank you for the lack of abuse it sustains during the rigorous war games.

(hint, do not take alternative 4)

Drop Biology. That'll free up your fridays.

time managment is your friend.

try this, make a spread sheet of all your classes that shows how much time you have for the week inbetween the classes and free time. day across the top, time down the side sort of thing.

even if you never actualy use it its useful to have done at least once. thats what I did for my semester this year. I have 5 classes, work, gym and a shit ton of clubs I belong to and I know that i would never get anything done if i couldnt manage my time right. youll find that the hour or 2 between classes are very useful for geting lots of stuff done.

and as mentioned before, what time do you actualy go to sleep?


also your taking 6 classes so thats 18 credit hours right? is there a particular reason your taking that many? most people can graduate on time with just 12-15 hours each semester. also is Biology serving a particular function in your core curiculum?

I know that you probably have to take a science but if its not part of your major i would try to see if its offered at anyother time of the week. if there is no other time that you can go to the class and it isnt part of your major/minor then droping it may be an option.

it is the only class for that day though and its in the morning so you do have a whole friday to get stuff done. most perty stuff doesnt get started till night time anyway.

Wow helpful advice here on these forums.

No, it's your lord. You worship it. I can't stress how important it is to have a good time management if you ever want to succed in doing anything in your life.

Buy a giant calendar and write down important dates. This way, you will get a better sense of when somthings are coming up. Put it somewhere you can see easily.

Consider college as a test. You do well here, you might have a better chance to do well onced you enter the society, like a 5% increase of chance. We can give you all kinds of tips and say all kinds of things you might find useful, but in the end, it is in my opinion that all you need is a better time management. Don't play paintballs or sleep untill you get our work done.

Make a schedule for fuck sakes. What are you? 6 and retarded. I had a schedule when I was 8 and used to abide by it. That's how I got through school, high school, and my uni. For fuck sakes, I was either teasing people who wanted to study or out having dinner or playing games on the nights of final exams. All I did was go through the shit I studied during classes in like 4-6 hours.

Seriously, do the shit during the semester and you would be fine. Plus always have say 2-3 hours for relaxing (be it sleeping even -- apart from normal sleeping time), or going out w/ friends and shit. Dont burn yourself out and you would be fine. The only time I felt burnt out was during my senior project in which I spend about 3-4 weeks without sleep (only 2 hrs per 24 hrs) and it was fucking tiring. After that I did not take summer semester and went in hibernation for 2 months. Fuckin A!

What will happen is normally Saturday I'll stay up late and then not be able to get in bed before 1 or 2 untill like the following Thursday. And I have to get up every morning at like 6:30 to make it to class on time. I just need to keep my ass awake between classes, and do my homework then. That way I'll be able to sleep at night. I was just really frustrated the other night. It'll get better I just have to buckle down.

[Digital Limit]

Heh, you wrote whore right in your subtitle. Thanks, you saved me the trouble.

[Downfall]

such love here this week

[Yian]

such love here this week
Seriously, what is going on? Why is everyone being so mean? :confused: I know most people here have attitudes, but bashing people for no reason? It wasn't like that before.

[SuperDavidGT]

its in the air. which is strange, because im in australia and i can still feel it

[greymeister]

It's because most of the euphoria of being out of school has abruptly turned into studying for midterm hell. Fuckers.

[caregirl]

I know it's his term of endearment for me. So it's ok. Just like brainless penis with no taste and no sense of purpose in life is mine for him. Feel the love.

[Downfall]

I have been told mine tastes like candy

[WhoGivesARatsAss]

My penis doesn't have a brain, it works on impulse. That's why I get in trouble often.

[unskinnybob]

My life > your life. Fat salary for doing squat. No classes, no studying. Sure, wild rhino run rampid in my back yard but still.

[Digital Limit]

Ohhh, I get it: you're fat.

[Downfall]

i think a lot of people around here need a hug this week

[badluckdice]

hugs for all!

*hug*



ok, fuck. who gave me herpes?

[Digital Limit]

:mad: Hug me without putting your penis in my mouth... GOD! :mad:

[Downfall]

but thats the way your mother taught me to do it :(

[SuperDavidGT]

>_< oh man, really bad mental image

[Downfall]

i could post the Bush anus face thing again. that would replace the image in your head

[SuperDavidGT]

got anything stronger?

[WhoGivesARatsAss]

That or some anal rape.

[tisl]

If everyone dropped out the world would be much more fun. Everything would be cheap because there are no yuppies around and nobody can afford anything. We'd sit around fucking each other all day and eating steaks. But noo, everyone wants to be a fucking miserable yuppie. Fuck you.

[Downfall]

you are about a decade or 2 too late for that

Say wha? I have 8 HRS school, 4 HRS homework and 1.5 HRS Housework. That's 15/24 HRS a day I work. And I sleep 10 HRS a day. So I have 0.5 HRS a day of free time... time in which I post this.

And WGARA spoke "And let the thread have life!"

[tisl]

Heh, necro-spam.

[iha‏teyou]

Now spam bots bump old threads? Whoever coded that should be tortured in some unique creative way.

[LittleChief]

The title of this thread immediately led me to believe that somebody was complaining about TF2.

[MrBored]

I would be happier if Caregirl was dead.

[future man]

I can't even remember who the fuck that was.

I also don't remember the majority of posters here actively posting since when posts would indicate they have been.

What is wrong with my brain?

You just opened Pandora's box...

So, how's that whole fuck-your-cousin thing going for ya, anyways?

[Xiar]

Also, you might study a bit more on the math....

8 hours school + 4 hours homework = 12 hours

12 hours + 1.5 hours = 13.5 hours, not 15.

If it WERE 15 hours and you slept 10 hours a day...... Uhm. Yeah. Think you just divided by zero. I can feel my atoms disbanding. Fuck you, god dammit. You just blew up the universe--that's where I keep my shit.

[Lehesu]

Xiar...Berserkuh is dead. Has been for a long time now. His cousin signed on to the forums to inform us of that fact. Now, you can continue insulting a dead man if you wish, but its kind of tasteless. Just for your information.
