This past school year, I had to deal with the wonders of "One Hell" (first year of law school). I took 16 hours each semester, but the workload was about 60 hours a week when you considered classes and homework and legal writing assignments.
I had two weeks off to recover from the semester and the 2 week finals period. I started working at a law office one week into this break.
After that "break" I started summer school full time - 6 hours. And I kept my job in the afternoons. I also commute an hour to school and back.
After summer school ended, I continued to work. One day my body said "no, you're not getting up. Sorry."
I spent 3 days in bed. I went to the doctor and had all sorts of tests done and all they could say was "you're exhausted."
We have a 4 week break in between summer school and the fall semester. I don't even feel like I've had any time off. It's early Sept. and I'm already burned out.
