Slightly depressing

[john75half]

I'm writing a thank you letter for the scholarship I got, and they suggested that I include my extra curricular interests in it.  So far I have reading, running, and gaming...and that's it.  And gaming is kind of a stretch, since I don't do it a whole lot any more.  And I don't think "cleaning, organizing, and writing thank you notes" really count

Some, but not a lot

You get some free time. I know I have a lot more free time than most of my friends who are currently doing the combined school/work thing. They all seem to go a little crazy for a while, but eventually they finish school, and things get better.

But, they don't call it a "full-time" job for nothing. Evenings and weekends give you enough time to hold down one or two extracurriculars, but not much more.

I think part of it is that everything has to be so damn serious. I remember when I was eight, I'd spend maybe three or four hours a week playing and practicing soccer, and that was plenty. Now, I want to be *good* at things, so I have to spend enough time on them to improve. And that's usually more than three or four hours. But maybe that's a personal problem.
