Its the start of the second week of school. I have to admit that for a Monday it hasn't been so bad. I'm just on a break between classes, one more class and I am done with school for a day. However, I won't be done with schoolwork any time soon. I plan to go sit in those clostrophobic little rooms in the library so that I can concentrate.
Ugh. Last week was really hard for the first week of classes. I have so many "active" classes, you know, the ones that require way too much energy from you. My MADM210 class feels like a 400 level class, the professor has us packed down with work. Absolutely no room to breathe. Small (and I mean small) overview of the course:
A) Interview of business professional, then writing a paper about it.
B) Creating a career portfolio--resume, recommendation, and participation in a mock-interview.
C) Self-assessment memo- self-evaluation, give the reader a complete picture of your contribution to class discussions..etc.. (Talk about bragging rights).
D) Individual presentation to the class. (I'm having a panic attack already), and aparently we'll do case presentations throughout the semester.
E) Business research Term Project-- 6 page single spaced paper, with a minimum of 12 sources. Then an oral presentation.
Now this list does not include the quizes we will have often, nor the moodle assignments we have due every Friday. I know everything in that class is to help us in the business world, and don't get me wrong, I appreciate it 200%, but I feel this should be a 2-part course, maybe a 210 and 220! I'm getting a headache just thinking about everything I have to do for just ONE of my classes. I guess this is growing up.
I think I am in desperate need for some prayer :-)

Why are students always surprised at the amount of work professors ask them to do? After all, each professor feels his/her class is the most important, and we seldom consult other professors to find out what they are doing! ;-)
