I cringe at the thought of 18 credits being a vacation...

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.
