It's been a few days, my workload piled up on me in an inordinately short timespan. So, I thought that I'd post a few rules for undergrad life that have stood in sharp relief for me in the last few days
1) Know all of your due dates/test dates/quiz dates for the semester by the last day of the first week. Post these in a list (red ink) on the wall by your desk.
2) Your hardest class will not only affect your GPA in that course, but will invariably take up so much of your time that your grades in your other courses (no matter how easy) will slip
3) When studying for an exam in your hardest course takes away any time to finish homework/reading for other courses, and you can either attend one of the easier classes or finish homework for the next class, skip. The prof will invariably spend the first 20 minutes allowing the rest of the class to finish something you already have.
4) Never spend the last 5 hours of your day studying calc, and then go directly to sleep. Avoiding the bizarre dreams is worth the sheer exhaustion.
More pearls of pessimistic wisdom later... class calls :)
