You know what's interesting? This semester is probably my easiest schedule so far. My classes are done by 10:30 AM every day except Thursday and Friday, the only other thing I have to do on weekdays is marching band rehearsal from 6:30-9:00 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and I have huge blocks of free time in the afternoon every single day.
And yet...I've barely done any work in the last month. I have class in 8 hours, and I'm still sitting here at the frickin' computer when I should've been in bed an hour ago. I've probably got several hundred pages of reading to get caught up on, and that number gets bigger every day.
Compare this to last fall, which was my busiest semester. I had class in the morning and in the afternoon, and then I had marching band at night. I also had a ton of TRF projects to work on, which meant that I was busy on weekends too. Care to guess which semester of my college career was both my most productive and my favorite?
Yep. Last fall.
So what does this mean? It means that the more free time I have, the less work I get done. Wonderful.
When I schedule classes for next spring, I'll be sure to spread them out over the entire day...

Posted by: Army NCO Guy at September 28, 2005 02:47 PMYeah, I've found the same thing. I think it's because when you're busy, you really feel the need to crack the whip and take advantage of those free moments. When you've got a lot of those free moments you say 'eh, I have more free time tomorrow.' At least, that's what I do. That's why I'm waking up early tomorrow to cram for an exam when the date was announced a week and a half ago.
