My summer schedule will be my craziest, because thats when I can pack in the credits. My goal is to graduate next spring. I need to get rid of these gen.ed. requirements quick. To that end..

Monday/Wed schedule:

Statistics:
8am - 10:30am

Calculus:
10:40 - 1:10pm

(drive to another college)

World Religion:
1:45 - 5:55pm

Psych:
6:00 - 10pm

Tues/Thurs sched is the same but without my 3rd class..whew!

That adds up to 9 hours of class on Mon/Wed if they keep me the whole time, which is doubtful.

My main concern is not passing out from exhaustion. Since I only have 10 minutes between classes and probably breaks in the middle, I need to figure out how to get my body enough food and energy.

I am doing everything I can to prepare for these classes, including studying, reading the text, geting the syllabuses and doing assignments early. Since these are introductory classes I know this is difficult but entirely do-able.

Still, sitting in class for 9 hours is going to be the biggest challenge. I've decided to snack constantly on high-energy foods, drink water ridiculously, stay away from sugar, caffeine or anything that will make me crash, hopefully work out 20 minutes before 8am..and sleep as soon as I get home.

I'm reading all of Steve's articles on how he overloaded during college.

Any other tips? Thanks in advance!
