I just want to pass - I don't care what grade I get!

The other night I was at an event also attended by the two professors that teach my current courses. I was talking with a group of people that included both of the professors, and I happened to mention that I had a class with each of them this semester. One of the professors looked at me and said, "You have her and I in the same semester? What were you thinking?"
I'd like to know myself. This has definitely been my most difficult semester so far. I've always had one difficult class and one not-so-difficult class in a semester, which made it much more tolerable. But this time they're both hard. The professors expect a lot of us, and the assignments are almost more than I can handle while working full-time. I'll be so glad when it's December 10 and I am finally done with this semester. I have to do a lot before I get there though.
Class 1:
Read about 200 pages of material
Write two 2-page reflection papers
Do primary and secondary research for a paper
Write a 20+ page paper
Present my paper to the class
Class 2:
Read about 100 pages of material
Write an 8-page paper
Finish research for a big paper
Write a 25+ page paper
Present my paper to the class
I haven't even really started on this stuff, which is scary since I have less than a month to get it all done. And I'm really bad about getting much done during the week. With work, actual class time and the other busyness of life, it's hard to focus on homework. Which means I basically have four weekends to finish everything. Sounds like a lot, but I wish I had eight.

wow...my head is spinning FOR you!
That does sound like a lot. I start back on the 17th and im so excited! Good luck on getting it done
I have asked you more than once, but what are you going for?
You can do it. You'll go insane, but you'll accomplish it all with flying colors. And, I survived a double masters with most of my sanity intact. :)
girl, you have a smart head on your shoulders and you can totally do it.
Eek! Sounds like my next month of school. I can't wait to let loose after this semester! Good luck:)
