1st semester of graduate school is finally over. I did it. Now the wait for final grades... I think that is nearly as bad as waiting for the application decisions.
-
Tonight is the last night of class. Final paper due next week. First semester of first year: DONE! (I also register for next semester today)
-
Sitting down to work on my final two projects. Finally got some needed sleep the last couple of days after not sleeping much for the last 6 months. I am ready for the first break!

No midterm grade yet. Ramping up for the last 3 weeks of one class (presentation, and 3 papers left), and a final paper in my other class that ends Dec 15th. Can't believe the first semester is almost over.

Midterm today in Applied Economics Analysis. After studying countless hours by myself and classmates... I am ready.

The full impact of my realization of being in gradschool has officially happened. I have just looked at my calendar and realized I am only home in time to go to bed. I have spent nearly all my free time at school for either class or study groups. #gradlife

Rewrite of first paper, 18-25 page rough draft of group project due next Tues, "48 hour" memo to do this weekend, another 2 page memo to write due next Monday, study for Econ midterm, full time job.... and somewhere in there trying to accomplish a work-life balance. Been doing well up to this point. I think they are testing out our pressure points... I don't want to break. Not now.

Wow, sounds like a lot. My only advice which I'm sure you're already practicing is break the projects down into smaller manageable portions. I agree with you about testing our pressure points. And this is just the beginning of grad school. Ha! I've adopted a new motto. "That which does not kill me, makes me stronger. " Nietzche

1 paper to write, 1 peer review, 5 chapters to read, and group project to work on. Has anyone invented the coffee IV drip yet?

Okay.... week 1 down. Already identified a parasite in my class. He offered to peer review my paper before submission. Turns out he never looked at it at all, and just replied (Its great). In class, before turning it in, I re-read it... and omg. There were parts of sentences missing... (I had thought Word had saved before I sent it out). I know it's partially my fault, for not re-reviewing it before leaving for class.... but then again, I trusted this classmate. I believe I will be...

Intensive weekend is over.... LOTS of work to do. Just found out that I am now part of a Communications Committee, and also being considered for an officer position with one of my department organizations

Crazy weekend starting now. I worked all day today. Now I have class tonight from 5-9pm; Saturday from 8-5pm; Sunday 8-5pm; Monday 6-9 and Tuesday 6-8 (after working). Ugh. I'm signing out for a while...

Loved my first class!!!! I now suffer from less anxiety.

6am in California. Getting ready to go to work for the day, but afterwards is my first class of grad school. Nervous, but excited.

Got my (and my husband's) gym membership going at the campus... planning to attempt yoga for the first time on weekends to help center myself mentally and physically, while getting exercise.

Learning how to get up earlier in the morning to study for an hour before going to work... it's taking a while to adjust. I can't seem to stay up at night to read, too tired. Any suggestions on how to combat being sleepy?
