Break!! YAAAAAAAAY!!!

ProTip: Never take 18 credits in one semester. No matter how tempting it is to get classes out of the way, DON'T. DO. IT. EVER!

As of yesterday at 6:30pm, Fall 2010 semester from HELL finally ended!! So, what do I have to show for it? Enough sleep dep to last a lifetime. And after all my effort that I exuded for DOOM project, my professor rejected my chapter. Thankfully, he has given me an incomplete (and there were 4 other people that got rejected as well, so I'm not the only one). If he had failed me, I don't know what I would have done. The class is extremely difficult and my one *absolute requirement* to graduate with my degree. ::Headdesk::

Speaking of graduating, Queens College isn't offering any classes I actually need next semester. So far, I'm signed up for 2 classes, but that's not enough to reach 12 credits. I'm so sick of college it's not even funny. Can I *please* go back to being a Music Ed major... please?!!! Sadly, the only way that can happen is if I transfer again, and that's not happening. I learned my lesson the first time :(

So, aside from being eaten by finals, I've been keeping myself occupied on my commutes, when not travelling with #crankys, by listening to podcasts. If you guys aren't listening to The Chronic Rift or Fanboy Remix, you really should be. They're both really great. I tweet about them all the time, but I guess I've never actually mentioned them here. I'll leave that for another post, that I actually have time to write because I'm done for the semester!! ::ahem::

Before I close this post out, I'd like to Welcome all my new readers (and welcome back an old one) that have cropped up over the last month: tarzanic, amandanoelle82, yendi, hiatazealo, and drewshi!! You're all awesome :)

My highest credit load was either 27 or 28, I can't remember which.

Sheesh! When did you have time to breathe?? And I know you had quite the social life when you were in Seattle. How the hell did you manage to pull that off?!

well, the social time was in my last 2 years which was less classes and more clinic time so it was a bit different. My 1st few years was pretty lacking socially.

I was lucky in that for me it was mostly just the sheer volume of classes. Comprehension was easy for me. I think some people had it harder in that they had to spend time trying to understand things too.

That makes more sense then :-P

For me, it was the sheer volume of workload. Sure, I had a 5 hour break on Tuesdays. Very rarely did I get to do something that wasn't school related in that time frame. It was awful :(

I remember what I used to do was no matter what (unless I had a weekend class), I set aside from friday afternoon (I was usually done by around 3pm) until I woke up on saturday to relax. I would go grocery shopping and pickup a movie or 2 and I would just kick back. That helped alot.

My DOOM project class took away most of my weekends :( It was a bad idea to take that class during an 18 credit semester. Seriously.

This is my first day I get to really relax. Last Thursday, when I had my only day off during finals week, I was home, but I had to study, so relaxing wasn't truly existant.
