Also I should probably add that now that there is a midterm coming up, I'm doing problems/practice tests so that's more time towards the course.

Speed Reading is fascinating. Although i've always read faster than most of my peers, I've tried a number of "Speed Reading" techniques and never gotten anywhere with them. I don't know, it's hard for me to read, and follow what he's saying.

Meh, the point of all this was: Adding 50% to a full workload is nuts.

I've also begun to think about people as boxes and then particles.
So...I'm definitely getting my money's worth.

Don't worry; you're just a true science nerd .
