Having spent yesterday sleeping in and hanging out at Alex’s apartment, today was dedicated to homework. At least, that was the plan. It ended up being a day full of sorting through the homework rather than actually doing it. I determined that:
math: one online assignment due weekly, one online assignment due three times a week, and one paper assignment due every two weeks. labs weekly
chemistry: no homework (?), lab/discussion
biology: highly confusing set of reading and online quizzes to be done before each lecture, quizzes in discussion
physics: homework, some semi-optional, in two different online locations. labs weekly.
My feelings on this so far: rather overwhelmed. There is a LOT of work lurking in there, and i’m going to have a hard time keeping everything organized (which seems to be the hardest part so far). I know i can ask for a letter from Health Services to extend deadlines and suchlike if i need to, but this is still incredibly daunting. Having put it off to the day before classes really start (ie, falling asleep during all my classes on thursday and friday) makes it an especially unpleasant pile. Hopefully it will get less complicated as the year goes on…
