And I thought I had it bad as a College student

Throughout my college career (and I seem to be making a career out of it....) I have always been full-time working, full-time student, and sometimes there are items on top of that.
For instance, now that I'm doing internships, I have that unpaid job for a good 16+ hours a week. That's difficult. Not including the additional coursework, papers, exams, etc. that are done outside of the classroom.
 
I've been boo-hooing and complaining about all the work I have to do.

I've complained that my computers (PLURAL) are acting up.

I've complained that there's not enough time.

I've complained about this and that and whatever else.

I need to stop complaining so much. At least I don't have to go to school on Saturday and Sunday.


Yeah - that's what I said. School on Saturday and Sunday. I've met a few people here in Gulu that work everyday of the week and then continue working doing schoolwork and classes all weekend. From sometimes 7 am until 4 or 5pm. Omigosh! It's bad enough to have to work all week and do school, but school on the weekend!?!?? Dang....

And the two I know don't even have their own computers. So they have to find a computer place open after work or after the school hours on the weekend to go and get their schoolwork done.

Super huge kudos go out to all those students that go to school on the weekends and still work hard all week long. You are much better and much more dedicated than myself.
