Why I am warry of too few units
Apr. 14th, 2003 09:50 amThis weekend, I wrote that Tech Report rough draft on Saturday. I was going to get my Quantum presentation ready on Sunday, in addition to doing the reading for Fiction Writing. Well, I did get the reading done. The trouble is, I just don't know how to deal with having free time. I have all my homework done until Thursday. Thursday, I have a Quantum test to turn in (3.5 hours) and a presentation to give (say 5 hours prep time). I know that I can put those things off, but not doing work makes me feel crappy. I know I desprately need a break to let me unwind from the past couple weeks, but I am unwilling to let myself actually enjoy one. I'm going to stress myself to my limits no matter how many or few classes I have. And when I'm busy doing work, I feel like I can battle the stress, but when I don't have work I need to do, I just feel awful. I think what I really need is a shorter semester, not fewer units. Maybe I should have gone to a school on the quarter system.
