working during the lc

sh4128

how many of ye guys are working part time jobs while trying to study? anyone finding the pressure too much? currently working friday evening 4-8 (finish school at 3.30) and then sundays 12-6 i have saturdays off and i do supervised study then which is good but i dont feel im getting as much done as my friends :S should i quit my job and be financially broke for the rest of the year?

You shouldn't be working during LC. Do you want the grades or not?

Honestly it's up to yourself. I'm working saturdays myself but giving it up after christmas.
It's grand to get the break from study even if it is to work.

how much study is everyone doing at the weekends? im getting in roughly 8 hours but that is including homework :S

Please don't tell me you're doing 8 hours on Saturday AND on Sunday?

I honestly think everyone should chill. 8 hours is still 4 hours a day. Which is loads imo at this stage. Coming up to mocks and the lc its not enough but its only november! Don't burn yourself out:)

Im exactly on the same boat.. come home from school at about 4:30 nd rush our to work till about 7 and back in at 10:30 till about midtime.. its alright though becaus ei work with my parents but work saturday night too andfinding it really hard to get homework done and then study on top of that! the stress of this whole year makes me sick
