There is SO much writing.
I have no idea how anyone takes more than one grad class a semester - especially people who have more work hours and family obligations than I do.
I want to take 2 classes next semester but I'm worried I won't have the time or energy.
Where do you find the time and the motivation?
I guess I could work some more on the weekends, but I'm usually house-cleaning and doing chores and family stuff.
How do you manage? Do you buy more time from the time-Gods? If so, how much they charging these days?
I don't think it's possible to have it all / do it all simultaneously. I think a person can do most everything they want if they can be patient and do it sequentially instead.
I took 2 grad classes at a time while working part time, my hubby is taking 1 grad class at a time working full time - but we did it one at a time. I did mine first, the month I graduated he started. We both have a lot of volunteer obligations beyond what people pay us for- as well as kid stuff and house stuff, homeschooling, sports, etc. so it takes coordination of our schedules just to make sure everyone is fed lol, but I'll be honest, I get a charge out of being busy (not busy that I'm drowning, but busy enough that I'm not surfing Netflix looking for something to kill an hour) so, I found my school work stimulating, and so there was a pay off. I could have done 3 classes if I were single, but I think for adults, you just have to do what you can with what you can. There's only so much plate spinning a normal person can do!
