i agree with truthseeker. unlike during your pre-reqs, you're actually learning stuff you will use in the future, things that will apply to your career and your life after college.. not boring chemistry and physics which are a drag to learn knowing it's POINTLESS. unless you go on to pursue an advanced degree in one of these fields in the future, you will never use that stuff again. if you're like most of us, you're taking it because it's required.. and you're dumping it out of your brain, along with your notebook into the trash can, as soon as the final is over.
that being said, PT school has so far been the most stressful time in my life. i guess that's relative though.. you may have come from much more stressful situations than myself. for me, i was used to going to school 3 hours or so a day for 3-4 days a week, being off on friday, studying, and partying. the biggest change in PT school is getting used to having your entire day consumed by sitting in class/lab, every day of the week, for quite some time.. like a full time job you don't get paid for. i wasn't used to going from having a ton of free time to really none at all. there have been times i was so overwhelmed with stress that i just cried, and honestly thought about dropping out because i didn't think it was worth it. in the end, i know it is. you just have to suck it up.. in the scheme of things, 2.5-3 years out of your life is really no time at all, it flies by. the time is going to pass either way, might as well make it count. also, everyone has told me that the first year is the hardest and most stressful.. apparently it gets easier the next year, and certainly once clinicals start because you're not sitting in class and studying for anything.. although there are case studies that have to be written (which sucks almost more in it's own way, not to be discouraging). but anyway... i realize i've written a novel. procrastination at it's best!
