Elle,
I'm 24 (or 25, AGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What is with my memory??? Shouldn't it be getting better???) I'm still working on my BA. I've had to take quite a few breaks. I waited a few years before starting school, got my AA, had to sit out again, and now am back at it, working on BA. The best thing to do is work on what you can. I try to set time aside every night to work on homework. The profs say an hour per class, per night (cynical laugh here!). But, last night when I was upset I worked on my German homework for 4 hours (Huh??). Do what you have to, then add on what you can. Also, make sure you take breaks when you are working on something rough. Remember the feeling you get when you complete a task? It's great! Keep that in mind as well. If you are feeling overworked, check into dropping a class or two. There's no harm in taking your time to complete your degree. Lord knows it's taken me a long time to get here. I take between 12 and 16 credit hours, but I have to for my scholarship. I'd take 5 if I could get away with it :)
If you are feeling overworked, look into dropping a class. And don't skip class. I'm the Queen of Truancy. But, I can't do it this semester. :( Much of my grade depends on attendence. Darn the luck. I guess the profs think it's important to be there? Maybe we can be buddies, to make sure we both go to class or something. We can help eachother through.
