are you a uwc student? a second year? do you feel busy, pressured with deadlines (ee, tok other ias) and massive amounts of reading?
if you answer yes to all of these question and you plan to go on and study and college/university, you might reconsider your current business...
personally i have never felt so busy in my entire life as i do now. and yet this is just the begining of the university challenge!
imagine that first thing that psychology profesor announced, having introduced himself, obviously, on the lecture was that the exam, which was coming in 2 weeks. i am not kidding you, the very first thing.
the amount of courses one takes varies from 3 to 6. it is commonly acknowledged, however, that for each hour spent with a professor one needs to put 3 times as much of one's own time!
now, i have 12 hours of lectures and tutorials a week in total. multiply by 3 and you get 36 hours of just studying a week! i had never put that much effort back in uwc.
keep also in mind, that unlike norway, in north america you have to deal with all the things, which concerns you by yourself - including buying and washing your linens, equipping yourself with books and learning materials, taking care of your room etc.
transit takes time if you want to go downtown and buy anything. the queues to any student services are enormous, so yes you can obtain help if you need thatm but it takes time too. anything takes time! and time is money, or isn't it?
where is the time for tea!? where is the time for sleep!? where is the time for people!? where is the time for some work-out!? i shall not even mention the energy!
i think i need to take a loan... quite a loan.
note: even if that post might not sound like it but i am actually enjoying myself a lot in this whole fuss of life, i am in the center of action, i have no time to waste and this, except i am on caffeine all the time, is not such a bad thing...
