Just wish I could have the same kinds of blessings. -_-U
I got my undergrad in instrumental music education. On average I would take 9-12 classes per semester. I got through it by hyperfocusing on what had to be done each day to survive. And that was before I got any of my dxes or had any of my meds; so I was on a rollercoaster of moods and extreme anxiety levels constantly.
holy....F**king sh*t......Does that translate to like....27-40 credit hours....and what do you mean, "I got through it by hyperfocusing on what had to be done each day to survive." and by "dxes" ?
before you had meds...lucky bastard. :\
dxes - diagnoses
As for credit hours, that translated to me taking between 18 and 21 hours every semester. I had a lot of 1 hour classes. You do as much work as the 3 hour ones (or more), but this way, music majors can hope to ever graduate. lol
In undergrad and now in grad, when it really gets rough, I start getting up at 4 am to do homework.
As for hyperfocusing, it's an aspie skill. You know how you get when you get really absorbed by one particular topic? Well, when I can pull it off, I trick myself into thinking that whatever homework I'm doing is my new special topic. lol And when that doesn't work, I just bribe myself with necessities--like bathroom breaks.
