Summer Classes are Going to KILL ME!!

FaithCaitlin

So, I think I'm crazy. For some reason I decided to take 3 classes during Summer A.. Summer A only lasts 6 weeks!!

Today I went to 2 of my classes and already have a 10 page paper (for a world history class), 30 page unit plan (for a social studies education class), and a lesson plan due. I'm freaking out. 

I don't want to drop anything but I'm nervous. I will be running around like a crazed chicken with my head chopped off for the next 6 weeks.

Anyone else suffering?

My masters program runs through the summer, so as of September I have been in school for two years straight without an actual break. School in summer really blows

Yup I'm in the exact boat as you. Feel you're pain.

My masters started this summer so on top of having my first grad classes ever they'r also squished into a 6 week period. I have homework/projects due constantly and NO motivation to do it. Thank goodness there's a two month break before fall starts!

I was in your exact same position last summer! I feel your anxiety. I made an excel worksheet of a weekly schedule and literally "scheduled" my time for that 4 week period. It helped so much- that I started using it during the regular semester. I made a full 4 week spreadsheet that highlighted when things were due and when exams were and then created my weekly ones based off that. I had times when I dedicated to "dinner" "TV" and "study" and although I know it sounds completely silly, it really did help. I wish you the best!!

I feel the same way!  Sometimes I keep asking myself why I decided to take summer classes.

Ask again next week... my first summer class (EVER!) starts on Monday, and I'm dreading it... no summers free from now until I graduate (2013), which bites. Luckily, it's only one class this summer to ease me into it.
