Crammed with work.

Stick with it, you will adjust and the teachers will also adjust the workload further in to the term. They front-load the work, especially in the fall terms, as it quickly gives them a picture who can handle the workload and who cannot ... and things then settle down. We'll be thinking of you, I promise!

And Oyster, any chance of asking for help or tutoring for your Trig class? Sometimes, particularly with math, having it explained differently by someone else makes all the difference in the world!

ILoveMyAbbyGirl - good for you, taking the three science courses this semester. What's your major?

A friend of mine just spent two years taking all the science courses she never took because she was an English major, and now has decided to go into sports medicine. She's 27 years old, and had to call her dad and say "You don't have to say it, you were right. I should have taken the basic sciences just in case, when I was in college. Now I have to pay more and take them while I am also working full-time ..."

School started for me nearly a month ago or more, the homework load lightens at about this stage .

Well, if it makes you feel any better, your teachers are probably working just as long and hard on their end! I am getting my masters in education and I am finally doing my semester of student teaching. I have learned that teachers work very hard to plan, implement, grade, and teach students to help them learn what they need to know, and they also try really hard to help their students succeed.

I know it's not fun when you have to spend all night doing homework, but remember your teachers just want to see you succeed and also prepare you for college (where you will have a lot more work!).

Many teachers work way past the 40 hours they spend at school (in fact, many stay much later and come in on weekends). Just remember they are trying to help you....and good luck, I hope that things get easier for you soon!

Cool! Just think how proud all of Pet Talk will be of you when you do well, and all the animals you will someday help, whenever you need a little more motivation.

After all, even Miss Hoppy, biter of veterinarians and veterinary assistants everywhere, didn't feel the need to bite her one final expert vet. I think you will be just such a vet - one that animals instinctively know will be friendly.

After-school tutoring is either on Tuesdays or Thursdays (I'll check today), and I plan on going to those. A friend has also offered her help whenever needed. I am determined to pass this class! :]
