    I just got into college witha 60% scholarship the rest of the money ill pay off by working at their lab.

    college - 5 hours
    library (research) - 3 hours
    transport (to and from my home) - 2 hours
    part time college job -6 hours
    my own site work - 4 hours at least..


    does it seem too much?
    ive pulled of 2 days of that...

    if anyone else does that and still is doing that, it would be graet to know im not alone =/

    otherwise this is torture...

    If you do this day in day out, it will catch up with you. You will feel tired and and sleepy all the time.

    You could catch up on some sleep with pretty much everything you do :) Unless you drive a car for the transport time slot.

    Its certainly possible to do but damn does it catch up with you...

    I commonly get 3-5 hours sleep a night with my day job and side work.

    I started on Friday afternoon--was infront of the system till 12 the next day--went to duty for an hr--came back sat again around 1.30 pm--and went to sleep at 3.33 midnight. In between I had my lunch/dinner and responded to natures call.

    Have few more holidays in the following couple of weeks --will work hard to promote some more sites:D

    Yea, with a couple of days off you'll be fine.

    Just feel like shit, kind of like on autopilot a bit of the time.

    Get good coffee :) get one of the Italian pots for the stove, cheap, easy, good ;)

    Now, you cannot do this for a long time. None of what you do will be good.
