Stressful three hour classes

Are three hour classes necessary? Sure having a class once a week sounds great, but is having that much work all thrown at you in that time frame worth it? To me it seems like im taking in less information then I should be, because the class is so long.There is so much information being crammed into a three hour period it seems unreal to be able and take in all that info at one time.

Second semester stress

I found myself asking often " will this ever get easier?".Collage seems to get harder and harder. I found myself today almost at my breaking point with the whole adding and dropping classes idea for this semester.I don't know whats more stressful finding out that none of the classes you need are available or the fact that every class you can take is at 8am or is a 3 hour class that is offered at the most inconvenient times of day.
