Busy for the next week
I have many things due next week.
Quarter has three terms in a year, each of which lasts 10 weeks.
Pro: More classes can be taken in a year, which give you greater freedom and flexibility to decide which class you like or don't like. With the choicest array of classes, it's not hard to graduate quickly for those who want to do so.
Con: It's pretty fast to have a class last for ten weeks, which is not long enough to cozy up to a class and the friends you make. You don't get to have a long paper you have to write be far in the future. Everything is due in just weeks, not months.
Semester has two terms in a year, each of which lasts 18 weeks.
Pro: You take your time. You get to go partying every week without worrying too much about deadlines. You won't need to register for classes just weeks after you pass the add/drop dates.
Con: Classes are usually inflexible. A class might be offered only in the fall, so dropping that class means that you need to wait one full year before you can take it again. Some people just go to a quarter school and transfer the credits from there.
Monday, I have an Biology midterm as well as an Anthropology paper I have to type up examining my "dispute logs." I also have to enroll in classes for the spring quarter.
Tuesday, I have a Spanish test, as well as a translation of an ASL story.
Wednesday, I have an Anthropology midterm.
