<p>I must say this has been a good reminder of “a day in the life of a college student” and a reassuring read. I was just talking to my daughter, a sophomore (not an MT student) and after hanging up found myself fretting that she’s trying to do too much. Between her work-study job, classes/homework, tutoring at the local elementary school, time in the practice room, and her various EC commitments, I worry a bit about the possibility of a meltdown. But it seems she’s in good company, and I suspect I was similarly busy in college but have forgotten the details.</p>
<p>Her time management skills have been exemplary, and I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. In high school, she also did the lessons/plays/rigorous coursework routine, and she has quite successfully continued with the self-discipline and time management in college. Not an AP course anywhere on her transcript, but lots of lessons learned that are carried over to college.</p>
