Judging from your posts, you will make a fantastic high school physics teacher.

You'll be fine.  Don't postpone projects until the last minute, don't waste lots of time cramming for tests.

This. If I could go back in time I would do my homework instead of cramming for tests.

I have no idea what it stands for, maybe management of information systems. Knew lots of engineering dropouts that went into it.

I'm on day 3 of 3 hours.  Not bad but used to it, going to crash at some point today after 3pm.

The engineering classes are ridiculously easy compared to the math, chemistry, and physics you have to take before you get to them.

Meh... ridiculously is a bit of an overstatement.  I think it is more that by the time you get to the higher level engineering classes you are better at being a college student.  I can't speak for the chem classes (AP credit :gocho:) but the math and physics aren't really that bad.


Also, to get on topic (sorry Jake), I had 7 last night and woke up before my alarm, so maybe I only need 7.  I usually shoot for 8 though because sometimes it takes quite a while for me to fall asleep
:adios:

the answer to the question depends on what you're doing while you're not sleeping

Emo EMAW, may I ask which Engineering discipline you are in? In order to help you give a better answer, don't say Industrial.

The reason you had to pull all nighters in Arch. School is because you'd be on a nice schedule to finish your project up early and your teacher would come around about 3-4 days before your deadline and have you change a buch of crap on it.

It's called prepping you for the real world when demanding clients change their minds and then want everything fixed yesterday, it's also why the architecture school at K-State is one of the best.

Yeah, the pay sucks, that's because people don't want to pay for good design because they watched a couple of shows on the DIY/HGTV and think "Hey I could design something like that".

It's also why the manhattan toothpick and sugar cube market is so grossly inflated.

Wouldn't that mean that the only time you had to be in studio for long periods of time are the 3-4 days before your project is due?

There are a lot of steps to get from start to finish....You don't just start working on your final design from day 1.
There are deadlines for crits, model reviews plan reviews, you don't just get to prep for your final crit the entire semester.
You pretty much had a deadline every other week, plus whatever tests you have for your other classes.

I'll be the first to admit I didn't have exceptional time management skills.  Maybe I wasn't as smart as the rest of you.  But being dumb didn't mean party less, it meant sleep less.  I had a great time at KSU, don't regret a thing, and now I've got a really good job.
