Im curious to know if you guys cut all of your life away socially from your
family and loved ones. Im studying every day at work for 5 hours. then i go
home and study for another 2 or 3. On weekends i admit i only put in about
4-5 hours of studying, but that will increasewhen i get my home lab. Im just
wondering what percent of your social life did you cut out? I cant just tell
my friends im not going to see them again for 5 months. They would think
something is wrong with me. I also cant burry my head in a hole for
studying, id get too brain dead, id need to have some spaces in between.
Just curious for those who passed, how much study time did you really put
in??
