Hi Guys,
This is not specific to my ASD but I have no place to turn .
I have been back at university 4 weeks and I already feel overwhelmed and burnt out . I work hard averages 45 hours a week including lectures . However I already feel behind . I think the lectures are the issues I often have 4-5 hour lectures . Often have 9 - 5:30 days of lectures . The lecture buildings are causing me a great deal of pain due to a physical disability they are not set up to be sat in for hours on end . Additionally I can’t keep up with typing . After the lectures I am in to much pain I just go to bed .
I have been trying to work out why I am Struggling as I found end year during covid easier to self mange I had a year working after that . It’s not an easy degree and our second year isn’t designed to be easy but i managed well .
I have been thinking about not attending any lectures that are over 2 hours . Then catch up using recordings around 95% are recorded anyway . As I find if I have a 4 hour lecture I am essentially putting my self in pain and not taking anything in then I have to rewatch the recording to write up my notes this usually take 8 hours for a 4 hour lecture . I always sit on the broader (1% off last year ) of a first my tutor said with hard work I can do it .
Is it possible to achieve a first not attending lectures ? I will attend interactive or seminaries and all lectures not over two hours ?
