Dropping like Flies

Time for another weekly update!

This week confirmed that I am going to collapse under all of my work, but at the same time I may just manage to make it out alive. It was easier to understand my classes and professors this week, and although I've come to realize that I'm going to end up spending pretty much every spare moment doing some sort of school work, I feel confident that I can handle it. For now, at least.

Education classes started this week. The professors all seem really nice and helpful, but the classes themselves seem inappropriate to be taking this year. We're learning things that won't be applicable for another four years (unless you include our placements) and it just seems like my brain is forced to keep switching modes as most of the education courses are big on assignments while my other courses are big on exams. Education classes greatly complicate my university workload. I'm not the only one who thinks so.

In first year there were about fifteen French concurrent education students in my year. As of the beginning of this year there were only eight. The day after our first night of Education courses there were five. The students in my program are dropping like flies, and there are still four more years to go. I wonder who will be left come year five, or if there will be anyone left at all.
