Heavy

Posted in Filler, Life by Grant on January 30th, 2008

I’m taking a page from Marty McFly and calling my workload heavy.

I have 16 assignments for this term. Last term I had 7. How’s that for an escalation?

I have about 25,000 words due by the end May 23. 12,000 of which are group work. Include my dissertation (due August 31) and that number grows to about 37,000 words. If you figure that a page is about 350 words, then that’s about 105 pages.

Add in all of the reading, programming, and miscellaneous tasks on top of that and you get a number of man-hours that scares the crap out of me.

    Since when is a page 350 words? What happened to the 500 word pages I wrote when I was a kid? Is paper smaller over there?

    Actually 250 words is sort of industry-standard page length. However I usually get about 300 words per page due to formatting and the fact that they print on A4 over here.

    250 words? In what, 20 point?
