The Hardest Part is Over ?

This semester I've finished Term 3/4. Notoriously difficult for more than one reason. The combined semester lasts from January through June and is the longest we will endure. We took over 25 credit hours, with one class making up the majority at a whopping 13 credits. For those of us who made it through, I am confident not one remained unscathed. I was exhausted mentally, physically, and surprisingly emotionally. The work load was unfathomable, and now I think back and wonder how I possibly made it through all that material. The pace was at sprint speed for the distance of a marathon. The professors were uncaring, and more than that, seemed to make it their goal to scare as many people as possible into withdrawing to retake the course next semester. Out of a class of around 450, over 100 withdrew.

I feel in shock that it's over. I keep thinking I have to wake up tomorrow and go to class. I am not completely recovered; I think that will take some time.
