Throughout all of my time at Utah State University, I have notice something that really bothers me. The school makes it practically impossible to go to school full time and work full time as well. It is really frustrating. Most of the SI sessions and study sessions for classes are during the evening, in addition to many of the upper level classes. At least that is how it is for my Biology Major. I think that the school board or whoever must think that everyone either works part time, on campus where you get off for all of your classes or just don't work.
I have a really good job that I love but it happens to have a set schedule from 2 to 10:30 PM from Monday through Friday. Try fitting 18 credits worth of upper level Biology classes in with that. Plus I think that most professors think that theirs is the only class that their students are taking thus assigning chapters of reading everyday. So every week I have 40 hours of work, 18 credits worth of school, hours of homework everyday, a husband to acknowledge, and family that is constantly complaining that they don't get to spend time with me...
School is hard, but school is nothing compared to working full-time on top of going to school. You are a trooper--I hope you can enjoy the summer break before the fall semester starts up again.
