A delay would be nice for tomorrow. All the teachers are going crazy with projects and homework before exam week and I'm sick of it! Do you have exams coming up?

Maybe, i'll be fine though..
How was your day?

Also, 99% of classes are only every other day. Some are one day a week and others are two days a week. You wil probably have four or five classes (depending on what your school's credit system is and other factors such as class difficulty).
By the way, lesson learned last year: never take a literature class at the same time as history. You will most likely have to take both (unless you are doing AP or IB or other advanced work for those classes). In that case, you won't have to worry about taking them because you will have the credits and a majority of schools take those credits.

It depends on the class and the professor as to how often assignments are due/the work required for a class etc. Some classes are assigned readings with just exams on the readings every so often (the dates of which are generally in the Sylabus). Other professors are very laid back--too much in my opinion at times--like my professor for this class where he extended the deadline. Others give way more work than is even possible (and they know it) because they want students to learn that just because the sylabus says "read pages 100-220" that does not necessarily mean read every single word: it means dig out what you need and forget the rest.
If I get a reading that long, so far, it has been accompanied by questions, I find where the questions answers are and then do not worry about the rest (in some cases, it is necessary to read beyond the answers to get the gist of what the book is talking about, but in others it is not).
That is what a lot of freshman have problems with: they see everything at first and think "Oh my gosh, how am I going to complete all of this!" and they panic, get all upset and flustered because well, everything does look like this giant mountain of stuff and a lot of them do not know how to climb over it or sift through it as I think of it. I was this way too, still am in some ways however, I'm learning a lot about how to be organized. If your college has a class for study skills take it: it will be worth the time and effort. I'm taking a study skills class right now (yeah, i know, three semesters late....and I'm with all freshman) but hey, it is better than never. Just the sooner you can get in a class that teaches you about how to read textbooks for college, different learning styles, taking notes etc. the better. I believe this class I'm in should be mandatory and have no idea why it is not. We have a freshman orientation but it does not teach anywhere near what this class I'm in does.
College is a transition but you wil survive and it will not kill you (even though at times you may wonder why the heck you decided to get more education). The fun with new friends, being able to get help for what you struggle with confidentially and other positives wil outway the struggles when you look back most likely (or that is what I'm noticing after being here a year and a half).

Thanks. I hope I passed!
I think I'll get rest after my 8AM class. I will sleep tonight for a bit but tomorrow I am resting for a while after my class and then studying/working on assignments again.

Yeah, it is frustrating because in college there are less assignments (though they are a lot more work) and so they weigh a lot. I just want to know my grades; that should not be a hard question to answer....one of my professors is so horrible at grading that he extended a deadline for our paper almost two weeks after it was originally due (we can give it to him at the final). Then I have professors that have TA's grading everything and well, they are not the most prompt graders...

I've quite a bit left of this one assignment but I'm hoping to be done it in an hour or so then just the paper and after that sleep!

Oh, that's happened to me before . Not to rub it in or anything, but I didn't have school today. I was still forced to wake up though . I hope you get some rest tonight .

I know what you mean!!! I'm rather irritated at the moment because I literally have no class that has given me a list of all of the things I've handed in so far yet. I'm wanting to know how I am doing but that is not possible when the professors have not graded everything.

Or you can become best friends with this website. It may be one of the best websites I've ever found for school other than this one, which I was told about by someone in Academic Services last year.
Aww, that is unfortunate but at least you can get the help tomorrow.
I survived the final although I forgot some parts so I'm thinking I passed but not as great as I would have liked.

Thanks, I really hope so!! I am doing my best. It is going to be a long night but once it is over, I'll have a little more time.

Yeah.

The final went okay. I'll know in about a week how I did.
Generally college papers are Times New Roman font, double spaced, one inch margins and whatever else the professor assigns. In terms of citations, those may be slightly different depending on if a specific citation is required (such as MLA, APA or Chicago). So far, I've been able to stick with MLA which I learned in high school however I may have to start using APA because I'm a Psych major so I've been reading about that so I know how to cite my various sources.

How was your day today?

Right now I'm not atending my computer class help session because I have two large assignments to get tonight (one really is not large, if I would have kept up with it all semester I would not have to worry about it) but the other is the paper I was telling you about. I'm going to try and get it done by 9AM tomorrow (the start of class) so that I only go from an A being my highest available to an A- being my highest available grade. I think I can do this. I'm just thankful I only have one class tomorrow because that gives me more time to complete other work. Once I'm done this paper and the book I'm completing right now, I'll just have one more packet and paper left and they are not difficult; they just require me to focus and not lose my focus (like everything does) but I'm not the best at that...

VHS. For some reason that made me LOL.

BOYCOTT IT ON PRINCIPLE. If it can't use proper grammar, it doesn't deserve to be watched.
