Exhaustion – it’s a feeling all too familiar for us PR students here at Georgetown. Obviously, most of us do to this graduate program part-time, while working at our full-time jobs during the day. Generally, balancing the work load is fairly manageable. However, as we’ve started reaching the end of the semester, I’m definitely feeling like the stressful days and long hours are finally catching up to me.
Story of my life...
Oh, but not to worry! Last week we received an email from Georgetown announcing they will be increasing the amount of hours necessary to award credits to students. Now, instead of 14 weeks, classes will be required to meet for 15 weeks. And wait – it gets better – each class will now have to meet for an additional 30 minutes each week.
Basically, this translates into two choices:
Option 1: Class from 5:20-7:50pm
This would be nice, except, the chances of me ever making it to class by 5:20pm are slim to none.
Option 2: Class from 8:00-10:15pm, and then scheduling the remaining 4 contact hours required either in one 4-hour block or in two 2-hour class meetings.
Ahh yes, isn’t this lovely? Who wouldn’t want to spend their Saturdays going to class?? Hmm.. I can think of a couple people that wouldn’t. *Sigh* Oh well, what can you do?
Humph. More school me no lieky. (Flickr)
Not to worry. Nothing a strong cup of coffee and some good music can’t fix!
