Rape time at university

Just a rant, please ignore unless I speak to you on IMs. Also please don't comment on it, I'll likely take it down later.
I just wanted to let the people who I usually talk to on IMs know that I'm not going to be very active for a while.
We only have essays and classes right now but as of the 16th of next month I'll be on placement for a total of four weeks and in that time I also have to write three more essays and sit a bitch of an exam. Why the hell would you give students an exam during their placements?! At least this time it isn't all at a hospital. For two weeks I'll be doing something in the community so that will be different.
Anyway, after we get back from placement we have two weeks of normal lectures, then normal study week and exam block plus two more essays... and then no break. The bastards are making us start second semester straight away and while I normally wouldn't mind this it means that we go straight back to hospital for four weeks, two weeks normal class, THEN FOUR MORE WEEKS OF HOSPITAL!!!!!!
Dude, I'm not even getting paid to do this! I'm not asking for much, even a buck-an-hour would be fine but when am I meant to work and study? 12 weeks total placement time, that sucks. On the other hand that means that if everything goes according to plan (Which it won't cause we won't be able to get the work done in that time frame) it means that we will graduate early. The party that follows will go down in legend... presuming that I pass.
However all of that shit starts in a couple of weeks time, right now I'm just studying and playing Mass Effect 3. There are a lot of things that I don't like about the game but none of those issues are gameplay or story. If you haven't played it please rent out the second one and then play the third. I'll post a journal about that soon, promise.

Just make sure to get some rest mate. No point in over-stressing yourself no matter how demanding things look like they'll be.
