worst weeks of a semester

Maybe its just me but every year ive been in college i have had certain weeks, about 4 weeks into a semester, where i have had three or four tests, and last year i can remember in early October i had three tests on one day. I understand that each course you take tries to follow a strict schedule, by each class covering material fairly quickly, it adds up that around a month into school all the classes are ready to give some type of test, and if not a test have a big paper due thats twenty five percent of your grade. So on top of all the studying needed to prepare for tests, and writing papers that are due, you still must manage your homework and readings for other classes. To add to the list if you play a collegiate sport youre really screwed, practice for 3 or 4 hours a day on top of the same time to do homework...its school practice and sleep. Some people say that they font mind but i really can't stand it. Even after all the studying i know im prepeared but i still feel unsure when it comes time to take a test. I wish the college would look at the classes and designate each department a seperate test day, or something like that just to break up having blocks of tests. I think the school would see a higher grade average on tests when kids had ample amount of time to study, and not have 5 tests and papers due in the same week. Does anyone else have certain weeks where they are totally stacked with work/tests/papers that are soon due?
