I decided I wanted to go back to university again and work towards a second degree, which would also bump my GPA enough to get into a masters program.

I was able to switch my work schedule around and now work monday-friday 4pm to midnight.

There are summer classes right now and I'm just taking one each month.

I find it pretty difficult to keep up with all the reading, which is basically a chapter a day. (I took cell bio last month and human physiology over the next 2.

What did you guys find was the best way to not get totally burned out? I'm basically in class/studying, then off to work, sleep and go back to class.

I did it and I was highly burned out after two years. The hour drive each way made it worse.

I feel very fortunate that work is a 5 minute drive, and school is 15.
