4 to 5 weeks? Is your school on the quarter system? My school is on the trimester system and summer classes are more like 7-8 weeks.

I took two summer classes last year, which caused me to have no summer at all.

The first was an intersession one, which lasted three weeks. It was macroeconomics and it started the Monday after the Friday I got back from Mizzou.

Once that class was over on a Friday, I started calculus the next Monday.

Both classes started at 8:00 A.M. and the school was a half hour away from my house. It was horrible. When all was said and done, I had one full week of break before I had to be back for marching band camp.

You are dead on with this article. It’s a necessary evil for some of us and even though you feel more accomplished after the fact, you still can’t believe you “wasted” your summer in school.

I’m doing that right now, and it sucks. I had two exams this morning and it was enough to break my sweet little heart. It is nice to be the model student I always promise to be and do my homework on time, study, ask questions and read ahead like

I always swear I will. I think it’s the cranked up intensity that pushes you to get off your keister and go for it. I was this student until sophomore year of highschool, and its nice to see that side of me again, and I hope to take it with me into the school year.
