Okay everyone... to help boast my confidence in doing 16 credits with high anxiety levels, please tell me I can do this. Right now I'm questioning the number of credits... Has anyone done these classes before, and can offer any advice? Organic Chemistry, Physiological Psychology, Controversies in Memory, Biology I, and then I have a bit of fun Music (no help needed on the music) Does anyone have any ideas for time management, that work for you?

Thanks everyone in advance.

And to add to all of this... now I am trying to deal with possible changes in my schedule... AHHHH

I find websites I like that I think can help me get a better overall picture (than textbooks; I can't see the "whole" flipping through a textbook) and slightly different perspective:

This guy looks to be an expert on "controversies in memory": http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/pdf...-120710-100422

and here's another course in physiological psychology that looks like it has some "pictures"

I took most of my last courses online and would email questions or appreciations to professors at other schools and use that email conversation in my papers, etc., and that worked well for me, showed my professor I had initiative, drive, interest, gumption, balls :-)

Time management. For me, the organic chemistry and biology would be the hardest because they seem so "dry" (which means they can be straightforward); I'd figure out a rote method of study (i.e., read 25 pages a night taking notes in outline form, do any problems, join or establish a study group with fellow students (perhaps from one's lab if you have one). The other courses, I would find intrinsically interesting so would not have as much trouble working on them; I'd be all over web surfing and reading stuff and cross referencing, checking out who were the experts in which controversy and visiting their web sites, etc.

i know you can do this... do let us know how it works out for you!

YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Time management is key!! It's how I got through undergrad. And make sure you're keeping up with your moods/anxiety/etc. so that you don't suddenly become overwhelmed.
