My second summer class started this afternoon, and it's just... wow. I don't think I quite realized how heavy the course load was really going to be before I saw the syllabus. Just for tomorrow, we're supposed to have two chapters and eleven primary source documents, and in addition to all that there's about four response questions to answer per primary source. Every day on the syllabus looks like this, and this class is four days a week, Monday through Thursday, with extra things to turn in by email on Fridays.
I don't really need the class or credits for anything, and I can tell already that this class is going to straight up burn me out. If I didn't have my World History class on top of this I'd proably be able to handle it, but as it is, I really don't want the extra stress, and burning out now sure won't do me any good once fall semester starts up.
I would have preferred to talk about this with my parents before I dropped, but I just kept getting the answering machine. I know my Dad was online soon before I called, so my best guess is that they forgot to plug the phone line back in and then didn't hear the answering machine turn on. Unless they decided to be arbitrarily mad at me, but I doubt that.
Still, it's all just very bah.
And oh, fuck, if I drop this class what's going to happen to my financial aid? I thought you only needed three credits for summer session, but now I'm not so sure... I can't afford losing that money. Fuck.
