I work just 30 hours a week and have 4 UNDERGRAD classes and sometimes I feel so overwhelmed. It hasn't been too bad yet but I have 3 papers due next week so I'm starting to feel the pressure. But I'd probably want to tear my hair out if I had your schedule! Good luck!!! I really don’t know how you do it.

I think that's kind of how my schedule is going to be once I get into it. Work, school, work, running, social time, bleh! It's good that you LOVE everything you are doing though, that makes it all more worth it! Ugh, that sucks. I think that’s kind of how my schedule is going to be once I get into it.

I would drop dead. This is why you're my oldest and smartest friend. I know I just told you this, but I don’t know how you keep up with this schedule. I would drop dead.

But, at least I believe, what it all comes down to is eventually you really learn and understand your schedule and you begin to adapt to it. My "busy" days (I used the quotes because they're nowhere near as busy as your Wed.) are always REALLY tough and horrible at the beginning but after I've gone through a bunch of them my body has found the rhythm, both in terms of getting on a proper sleep schedule and what I need to do during the day (aka finding times to eat). So just keep on plugging away and eventually you'll find that sweet spot. It won't be easy, but it will be much more manageable. I also highly recommend bringing food with you. Make yourself a couple of sandwiches or some pasta you can throw into some Tupperware. That was my saving grace a lot of the time, and I need to get back to doing that again.
