I really needed to read this. I'm heading back to school after 8 years 5.5 of which was spent living in the Carribean, owning my own business and following my passion on the side. I moved back to the USA to pursue that passion full time and in the meantime I am buying a home, trying to conceive and hoping to work full time while studying part time. Treating graduate work like a job sounds like a great plan! Good luck on your move. Hopefully you will meet a lifelong friend and you won't be alone. Just gotta put yourself out there which is the annoying bit.

I'm worried I won't be able to write engaging essays, retain information and test well. I guess the adjustment period makes me a bit nervous. Also, balancing life will be a difficult task to accomplish.
To deal I intend to read up on Social Work topics, gather my textbooks ASAP and familiarize myself with a good schedule/space for study.
Question for the group:
Do you have any tips on study methods? Does anyone have any other preparation recommendations?
