how much is too much?

I've been stressed out lately. With the EE, History IA, the written task 2 (AVID English is behind by quite a bit) and anything else my other classes give me, its starting to take a toll.  On top of that, i'm also still going on college trips, as other possibilities enter my mind, which takes quite a large chunk of my free time on the weekends.While I feel that this is doable, its getting close to the breaking point. Maybe its how I spend my time, the fact that were the guinea pig class for TOK II, or the placement of the class itself  its pushing me onto thin ice.

How much homework is too much? Is anyone else feeling stressed about the papers?

  1. The EE is pretty intense, but the IA on top of it makes it almost impossible. Well, at least nightmarishly challenging. The WT2 is just a graded practice and much shorter than the other papers. It is another paper, though. The stress is high but we'll survive. I just am annoyed by those who complain about homework that have far fewer assignments than we do.

  2. I agree that last week was pretty intense. Though I got everything done, there were some late nights in there, I feel like the quality was not my best. I focused most of my energy on my EE, since I felt that was most important. However, I feel like my IA is lacking. This week is much better though. I do feel like I need some more time to recover, which is what I have been doing this week. We can all do it!

  3. Something is too much when it is too much, otherwise it is not too much. But, in all seriousness something is too much when you feel that it is, which generally happens when you have an overbearing work load, so probably for you diploma candidates that would be quite often. But also something is too much when you can no longer have balance between the varying aspects that make up your life.
