How is that technically even possible? She works 40 hours a week minimum to be qualified as full-time (8 hours per day) and goes to class at minimum 12 hours (to be full time student)?


People can accomplish a lot when pushed. And some are smarter than others and retain/process information better

I did this and it was hard as hell, but I sucked it up. How many semesters like this do you have? Nine hours is a lot, next semester, one, that's not bad.

Just imagine how it would be if you were in a literature intensive program.

Completed mine while working full time. Felt like I was dragging myself across the finish line at the end. Only took one class at a time, but we were on the trimester system, so I was able to complete two classes in the span of a regular semester. That helped.

Meh, I did both at the same time.

Maybe you just suck at time management and prioritizing?

I'm working on my masters in math and working full time. I'm making straight A's. It takes a lot of planning, but it's not too miserable.

"Grad school should be a 40 hour per week job" -the best professor I've ever had.
Of course that was history...extremely rigorous.
