Dear Education Majors and/or Anyone Who Had To Take Time Off Of Work To "Intern"

Hey guys! Long time no post.

I'm majoring in Early Childhood Education and just found out that I am going to have to take TWO full semesters off from work.
I have NO idea what I'm going to do.
Did your student teaching/internship (if you're no an education major), interfere with your work?
What did you do?
