Hello my mylot friends. I am in a bad mood this evening and need someone to vent to, you were the nearest people who wouldn't just punch me in the face for moaning too much. So don't bother reading this its just for my own purposes
I am currently doing a masters which being a masters is obviously quite challenging but this week they have really started to take the Pi**. I currently have 7 pieces of coursework to do in the next 3 weeks, all of these pieces are roughly 3,000 words and with research, planning etc will take at least 10 hours each. HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO THAT MUCH WORK IN 3 WEEKS!!!!!!!
A few calculations. there are 504 hours left to do this work. minus 60 hours of lectures, 9 hours walking too and from the university, 11 hours of lunches, 2 hours a day to make and eat dinner = 42 hours and finally 7 hours of sleep a night = 147 hours. That is 269 hours taken up already without including anything like washing, shopping, mylotting, making tea, having a break. That is just over the top.
I sometimes wonder why i bothered doing this course, OK its interesting and i will get a good job at the end but it seems like its more about survival than learning, if you can make it to the end of the course without having a heart attack from stress then you will pass.
Thankyou, i feel much better for letting it all out.
