About to have a nervous breakdown. right Now.
School is over for the semester. I will miss Western Civ and Infant & Child Development.. and I will miss some of the people in my other two classes - but not so much the classes themselves.
This morning I was looking around on the eku site, because I had wanted to take a history class next semester from the same professor I had this semester, but didn't think I would be able to... However, I've figured out that I Can fit it into my schedule. It wouldn't count toward any of my actual requirements, except for just ... general electives, but I had wanted to take it because I really enjoyed his class this semester.
I wouldn't have to be at school any longer during the day next semester than I am now.. Taking this class would just mean that I didn't get Any breaks, all day, while doing 18 hours (the max amount)... That's 15 minutes to walk from one class to the next.
He said he's going to run it as a seminar class though, and that we probably wouldn't even be meeting all the time, we would just have to read whatever it was we were going over, then come to class and discuss it. I've never had a class like that before, but it sounds interesting... I'm not sure what the tests would be like. >.< I'm sure I'd be nervous over them just like I was nervous over the ones in his last history class, but I did pretty well on those... after I stressed out.. bleh.
Anyway, the class is called "Europe in the Reformation Era." So, basically, Protestant Reformation...Most of you don't care about that, I'm sure. But I think it's interesting.
Can I handle 18 hours? In Corbin I took 15 hours both semesters and didn't have a problem. This semester I only took 12 hours, because it was my first semester on the Richmond campus. Also, next semester I am taking PSY 291. That is, "Statistical Experimental I," which includes Lecture AND Lab... And is supposed to be..challenging. I know already that this class requires at least three outside activities.
Am I going to go insane? Probably.*whimpers*.
So, it's not like I'm taking six classes, It would be more like I was taking seven classes (because of the Lab for 291). BUT, I keep telling myself, at the same time it wouldn't be like that because I have a dance class next semester.. and how much could we possibly have to do in there? ON THE OTHER HAND - there is the potential that ..because I'll be dancing, I will be physically tired...
Keep in mind though that my dance class and my Spanish class will be my last two of the day, but these classes only meet two days a week, inead of three, like all my other classes.
Still though.. Sitting in class all day is hard... And we're not talking all day like in high school.. We're talking all day like 9-5... Or if you wanna include the driving time.. more like 7:45-6/6:30ish.
Do you think this will make me exhausted?
I also have to consider the fact that I don't just go to school, but I have to work too... Even though it's possible for me to go to the church and get everything done in one day, I don't want to have to do that, because I would be there ALL day, and that would leave the church dirty during the week... Thus, I would be going to 18 hours worth of classes every week (MWF) and in between that I would have to clean the church AND do homework.
AND, since Andrew is moving to Lexington TOMORROW, I will probably be driving to Lexington whenever I can... (Maybe Nesa can go with me and she can go visit Dayna while I'm visiting Andrew - i know this wouldn't work out realistically all the time, but...). ...Yeah.. 18 hours of classes, work, and driving to Lexington doesn't leave a lot of time for homework.
It leaves a lot of time for me to be exhausted, cranky, and generally unpleasant.
So it's probably not a good idea, eh? Unless I drop my dance class (which is an elective dance class-not one of my required courses).
Can you imagine all the crap I would have to carry to school every day? Ugh.
Overwhelming amount of babbling? Welcome to the inside of my head all the time :P.
