<p>Thanks for the info. As the mom of a rising soph (well, next week anyway), I’m glad to hear the courseload isn’t too different in intensity.
So many (especially the very bright) seem to take the opposite view: If I don’t give it all I have and I fail, well, I’m good enough and I could have done it if I’d tried; if I give it all I have and I fail, then I’m a real failure. I think your view is the better one.
And your experience then helped to make you what you are now. Sounds to me like you learned some important lessons and have put them to good use. Bravo!</p>
