Additional comments During my junior year (I think it was then) 2/3 class came down with MONO. We were studying till 12 and 1 A.M. then had to be on the nursing floors at 6:30 A.M. in uniform. It was mandated we had to go to breakfast which I disliked because I don't like breakfast. We went to a class on Human growth and development (I may be wrong on the class) from 7 P.M. - 10 P.M. as I remember. No one was getting enough sleep. I was tired continually. I don't remember how long we were on the floors but after that we had classes till 5 or 6 P.M. depending on the day.
