“I don’t want to spend several hours a week working because then I won’t be able to enjoy my year.”
Just a word of advice: Even if you’re thinking that, don’t say it when you’re asking others who work for their money to give it to you.
Even better, rephrase it to “I am willing to work several hours a week for the privilege of spending another year in E”Y.” People will be more willing to help you when they see you’re willing to work for it also.
