with great sacrifices come great rewards. later.

Just stay the course like the others have said.

At one point I was working full time, attending one University half time, and flying to get my instrument rating (equivalent to AT LEAST another half time education all by itself, although to really excel, it would be equivalent to about 9 credit hours).

Then to top it off, none of the 3 schedules coordinated very well because they were all seperate.

You just do what you have to do, and at the end of the day, do what you can.

You do it because you want to, and you know that soon enough it will get better.

Also, one of the keys to succeeding in college and keeping your sanity is learning how to budget your time. You have some control over what you take, so perhaps you should consider lightening your load a little bit, and extending your stay by a semester. It is neither illegal nor discouraged.

It would be more beneficial to you to do a better job of learning the material at the expense of some time or freedom.

Or you can suck it up and not sacrifice quality, but lose some free time.

It is your choice ultimately, and there is no wrong answer.

I remember my first day Freshman year, I had a professor tell me: "A good GPA, Work, or a life" Pick any 2.

He was pretty much right.

the grass isnt always greener...

im sitting here, recently just obtained my BBA in december, currently working 25 hours this week at my job....and all this down time it is killing me. im not used to it. what im used to is a full load plus work plus partying (lol). now it feels like my job hunt for a full-time is at a standstill. i wish i had a couple more semesters to fuck around with. sigh.

oh well, patience and persistence are key (so ive been told).
