Feeling a little burnt out

<p>This actually doesn't have that much to do with Computer Science - I love programming. I took Pre-Calculus during my schools winter intersession (5 units in 5 weeks). The class was almost 4.5 hours a day, and I often stayed later to get help from the teacher, four days a week - studying was about 2-3 hours more, more or less, unless there was a test, and then it was definitely more. In that time, I barely even touched programming, which I like to practice whenever I can, because the class was so time consuming.</p>

<p>Long story short, I ended up with an 'A' in the class, barely - The final was last friday, and I basically had two days, and now have to start Spring semester tomorrow. The only saving grace is that my Calculus I class is through a whole semester (although I don't love the 4 days a week part of it, even though it's only 1 hr 10), and that my other classes are Intro to Data Structures, Programming in C, and Programming in Java (these three are long evening classes, once a week). The last three are way more interesting to me than math, and I think I got good professors all around (although I think the Calc one is good, though.</p>

<p>What's kind of burning me out, though, is the turnaround. Worked really hard when a lot of students were enjoying their winter breaks, sleeping in, and I only get the weekend before I have to start again. Lol, I should seriously stop complaining, I know...I'll stop with my rambling.</p>

<p>That’s completely understandable, and I felt the same way when I took a 5 week summer class, right after the end of the quarter. It doesn’t sound bad when you’re first planning on it, but when you actually do it, it’s draining to just constantly keep going.</p>

<p>The only thing I can recommend is to just give yourself breaks in the future. There’s a reason why schools have intersessions, and it’s not a bad idea to take a break every once in a while. It’s tiring, and that’s okay. You don’t have power through everything. Sometimes you need the time to refresh.</p>
