How much is too much?

The week of hell begins tomorrow. First comes the last midterm of the short summer session, followed by a day in maternity clinical. Wednesday is Maternity HESI, which will be beyond interesting. Thursday is Sim Lab and Friday is Peds HESI.
A great deal of studying is required this week and started after class on Friday. But seriously how much is too much studying?! There are only so many hours in the day and some of those hours need to be dedicated to other activities besides studying like sleeping and eating. How much sacrifice is expected of our cohort? I mean honestly, who thought that cramming 15 weeks of school into 6 weeks was a good idea? I would really like to know because I can personally say that it is a very bad idea! There is too much stress and not enough time to actually learn and absorb the material. All we are doing is cramming info into our brains, taking test after test, and then most info is forgotten a few days later. It's unfortunate since the Peds and Mat clinicals are a lot more fun than I expected.
But a person can only study so much and memorize so much. And if you don't have good guessing skills, life is about to get even more stressful!

So what better way to procrastinate from studying and writing an EBP paper than to start my own blog!
