Holding my breath before I dive in

I will admit that I was given fair warning that grad school is a lot of work. I was told that the classes were significantly more difficult than undergraduate classes. Of course, I thought, "That's nice, I'm used to 17 credits. 9? That's not a problem." For roughly half the number of credits, I'm getting twice the work. I spent about half an hour ( Read more... )

Hey, I hope you don't mind hearing from me. Yes, Grad School is a LOOOOOOOOT of work. Take it from me. For the year 2006, I read over 10,000 pages worth of books, and wrote up to 100 pages worth of papers. Forget that I also had to study for exams and take notes. My memory is fading. It is exhausting. It is gruelling. It is lonely. Such is graduate school. It will all be worth it in the end. You are capable of doing grad school fine though. Surely. And I have been going straight since the fall of 2005 with no break. I'm ready to transform into a bear, although I can't imagine you really doing that.

I guess my one advantage is that I don't have exams...just a lot of presentations since we have to practice being in front of people very often.
