Key word there was "almost" kill myself. Nobody ever drowned in sweat and 4 weeks is plenty of time to do this. I got an "A" on a term paper on knee injuries three years ago (Sports injuries class" and I did the whole thing in one night. (20 pages with references) Finished up at about 4:00am and turned it in at 9:00. The point is you'd be surprised what you can accomplish when the pressure is on like this. It's going to take a big commitment but when it's all said and done, college is an endurance test to start with. Out in the real world, your new boss wants to see if you could stick with the torture of college for however many years you endured it. They could care less what you learned, but that you finished it. College doesn't prepare you for the working world through what they teach but rather give you the essentials to know how to complete a project through perserverence.
I offer a teaching degree as an example, 144 hours for the degree. ONE semester of Methods of teaching. One little lousy class on what it actually takes to conduct a classroom. All the rest is background.
(Disclaimer: this is a Texas teaching degree I speak of.)

This sounds like Dadspeak I know but buckle down and show them what you're made of. Get ganarly!
