For example: Hours 1-2: Art lab 1 Hours 2-3: Art lab 2 and so on. (Obviously I'm an art student) and this upcoming semester I have an English class, 3 art classes, and a media class. So, if I work on things for one class and then change, does that change my focus or does it not matter?

Personally, I think school is poor preparation for the working world, just because of that. Your schedule is much more rigid. Additionally (and this could be an entire digression), while every class and semester of school brings an engaging new project, work is a bit more linear. Thanks! This works within the classroom certainly, but how does work within the confines of a job?
