Joining the burned out club. Last quarter was very rough. Having a much lighter workload this quarter. Only 8 more weeks to go before closing out the first year.

I’m going into my senior year, unless I can find a way to double major. The new editor-in-chief said they want to talk shop about me being the school newspaper photo editor. I’m not burned out yet but will be at the end of the month when my 20 page academic paper is due.

Ended last quarter with 3 A-s, 2 B+'s and an RP. A week into this quarter and I'm burned out even though I took one less class (I'm just going to sit in on an undergraduate lab Thursdays instead) and have around 6 undergrads to boss around for my independent study project (our first meeting did not go well as I am not on the same page as my advisor and partner on different aspects. There is a 100% need for them to align with me but luckily the undergrad EE that knows what she is doing is with me). Rugby is almost over thankfully, the school made the playoffs and the men's club didn't so most of my time commitments are fixed. Need to get my taxes done somehow and come up with a project for a printed circuit board.

nth-ing the burnout crew. I withdrew from my Multivariable Calc class because I was headed for at best a D. Somewhere after highschool my brain became inellastic at learning math, and because of it i'm doing mediocre in my Control Systems Analysis class, which is all S-domain math but closer to complex algebra than calc so i'm pulling through it. I've got a Microcontroller Programming class which is a misnamed 'low level C programming class' where the instructor and TA have done no actual teaching all semester, as the class consists of 6 hours of lab time where your goal is to make the arduino do increasingly ~thing~. Wouldn't be bad if the instructor actually taught, but in their opinion the class being open book, open data sheet, google all you want makes it too easy already. On the flip side I'm getting an A in Circuits Analysis with no effort, and helping the TA and other students out a lot, since its a 3000 course that barely hits the level of detail of a 1970's babies first circuit project from popular science. But I've kept sane by working on an actual project with other students. It was a relief to find people who like doing actual engineering and hands on building stuff.

Not quite burnt out, but wishing that my school offered an Economics for non-business/accounting majors course. Getting by thanks to the rest of my courses being subject for non-major courses, and a great friend in my science class.

Im coming up on the end of the second year of medical school and I've never felt so burned out in my life. There's a huge exam (USMLE Step 1) at the end of the summer and the generally accepted advice is you need about a month of straight 10-12h days to prepare. I have no idea how I'm going to maintain motivation.

You don't have to repay if you fail, necessarily, as long as you can prove that you were attending the entire time and made an effort to pass. In my first year of using my GI Bill I had my life blow up fantastically and totally ignored an online class. Posted once at the end of the class in a "What did you learn" type question, failed, and didn't have to pay it back. The other classes where I just stopped showing up 1/4 of the way through I had to pay, though. Like all things VA related YMMV.

Holy poo poo I was approved for my private (gap) loan. My deployment was 178 days (I was backup rear det, someone got injured two months in) so I only got 40% coverage through the GI bill, so I was around $4k short for a nursing program. I took out a 12k loan solely to have coverage in case I do end up having to quit and need living expenses covered (class is 5 days a week, accelerated nursing program), and as a true emergency fund. All else fails I'll just roll it back into the loan. Doing the math, I'm going to be paying about $500 for the privilege of having an emergency backup fund for two years at my interest rate, but I think it's a good plan. If I do end up having to quit I'm around $300-400 short/month in living expenses after the BAH-style coverage ($640/month, rent is $750, internet 30, car insurance 50, food etc), though on the flip side if I do quit I'll be eligible for between $7-9k in Pell grants, versus the zero dollars I'm eligible for if I continue to work. It's all a balancing act. Orientation is next week. I've said this before, but what the gently caress am I doing with my life? Goin' to school at 30

Why are you doing GI bill at 40% when you can easily get the 10% minimum disability needed for VR&E which will pay 100%?

So what did you all with 10% do to get your voc rehab? The second after I stated I'm working towards a chemistry degree the counselor I saw more or less said "You're not dumb enough to qualify for voc rehab, get out unless you can get up to 20%."

Man, I think I figured it out. I’m gonna graduate (next May) and apply for a MFA program at another college. It’d be UCSD, and the more I think about it, me trying to stay and get a bachelors in visuals arts is dumb when I can get a masters and really study what I got to. I also had a paradigm shift. I was dreading a paper I have to write but my professor gave me an enthymeme that helped navigate a cool topic (semiotics in photography). I realized I get to talk to her about the stuff I’m excited about, not that I’m assigned some thing. Well that, but it doesn’t feel like work. Photography has really changed my life. Seriously. I just applied to be the photo editor of my school newspaper. I hope I get it. It pays some stuff but It’ll either be campus cash, or money going towards getting a YMCA membership for my family. We live really close to one and my kids see this amazing playground every day. Stupid loving thing is like 70 bucks a month. I’ll make that an annual thing pending each semester. I really need to get another lens, but the two I see are around 500 bucks. So I’ve been applying for scholarships, sucks my GPa doesn’t qualify me for some but I still try if I feel I can explain it. Even then, hard to justify spending money on equipment. I just started a website but gently caress trying to dive into “DBA” stuff right now. The new editor has a mom who did broadcast journalism as a career and a Dad who did print. He is a philosophy major with a passion for it. Also physics minor. It was like “huh?” Super excites to work for him if I get the part.

Grad school is a bit better than undergrad if you're ready for it and take advantage of it. There should be more freedom to explore since you don't have to try and cram in a bunch of basic poo poo, plus it's further out on the limit of knowledge so sometimes there's not a correct or certain answer.
