Probably both parts of Big and Loud. The whole sequence of events in Darla's house was win. ;D

My teacher's mnemonic device for remembering that on the Periodic Table, Francium has the most mass and gives away electrons the most easily: Francium is a fat hooker. She's the biggest, and she gives it away real easily. ;D

Pretty good for the most part, except for when they ask for money.
It can be busy at times, though.

At times, does it seem hard?

Yeah. Balancing class work, knowing when to study, when to kick back. I'm also in the situation where I have to work to earn a living, so that gets thrown into the busy schedule too.
A word of advice: don't overburden yourself, no matter where you end up going. Only take 6 to 7 classes per quarter/semester if you absolutely want to, not because your parents or family want you to and are pressuring you to take as much as is humanly possible in such a short amount of time.

If you think you can learn all the important material by the time finals come around, you could always skip or BS the less important assignments. It depends on how much they're worth in the overall class grade. If the grading system at your school is anything like what I remember from high school, there are so many assignments that one can get by skipping some assignments without too much problem.

Yeah, or you could just do what my other friends do and turn in and show the teacher old homework assignments ;D They never actually look at them well, and trust me, it's worked wonders for me before! All you have to do is show that you did the darn thing

Sounds like high school. ;D
Depending on your future classes, you'll find that the emphasis in college is on the tests. In all three of my classes this quarter, the midterm and the final (just two tests, mind you) in each class accounts for 70% or more of the final grade. Homework really is only around as preparation for the tests and isn't worth very much grade-wise.
