yes you get weekends off, my experience so far, 1st two weeks, death by power point, use your down time to get your IAI down cold and your Lim. down. You will be given alot of other information for you to absorb. The next two weeks, there is not enough time in the day to get everything down try and stay ahead. Its not bad just manage your time wisely, FYI turn your phone off or bring donuts to my class first, have fun enjoy robert and I'll see you in the morning... Hope this helps
