  1. T-Minus 14 more days until Spring Semester. Received both syllabi, and started to read / prep for the first week of class.

      Hah, perhaps. Or I just don't read very much ;)

  3. I can't believe spring semester starts on Tuesday. Break was not nearly long enough. Not even close.

      Jealous. Very, very jealous. I haven't recovered yet either.

  4. I just love entering info about each course I've ever taken, one by one. Applications rock

  5. Can't sleep past 8 even when i go to bed at 4

      Same problem here, too. Took me forever to adjust to mornings, but it seems like the adjustment has been made. And is unbreakable.

  6. Spent 10 hours writing in a coffe shop today. It's looking like a repeat performance will like be happening on Thursday.

      And by coffe, I mean coffee. It's been a long day.

  7. Question, as grad students do you look for professors who are "easy" or more challenging to get more "bang for your buck"?

    1. Lifesaver

      Lifesaver

      The professors that I learn the most from are often seen as the "easiest." It's not that they're actually easy, it's that they're less structured and allow for some individuality in assignments and more class discussion. I hate professors that give me no autonomy.

  8. Just bought readers (to wear WITH my contacts) at Walmart because I'm too broke to go to the eye doctor and too broke to buy new bifocal lenses for my glasses/contacts. But on the plus side, now I can see.

      That requires going to the doctor and getting a new prescription.

      I have insurance, but it's school insurance so there's all sorts of stipulations I don't have the patience to figure out. I'm also still trying to figure out how I'm going to pay the bills from my ER visits in August. Hence, no eyecare right now. The readers I bought yesterday seem to be working fine.

      That's a good question. Up until now, my exams were done by my uncle who's an eye doctor. Being 1400 miles away from him, I'd have to see a different doctor who would charge me full price.

  11. How do I get my energy back? I just feel like I want to sleep all the time even on weekends when I can sleep in a little longer. I have 0 energy.

  12. Why did it take me 4 hours to outline two chapters? Forget reading, I'm going to bed.

    1. Lifesaver

      Quite simply, close the book and say screw it.

      Contemplating the addies. I've had a bit of heart trouble lately, so probably not the best of ideas. As for meditation, that's an epic negative ghost rider.

      The credit system/the way things are weighted is a little different here.

      We (full time students) are obligated to take 7 classes first semester. That's how the program is structured. The only upside is that we don't start field until second semester. It's still a lot to manage. I'm not really enjoying it. My first masters spoiled me.

  19. Went back to the ER. Got diagnosed with pleurisy, which explains the agonizing chest pain a little bit more. I really hope this crap clears up before Tuesday. I don't want to be miserable on my first day of class.

      Beginning to feel better. As long as I don't sneeze or yawn. Just in time...

  21. So... UNC just offered me a spot in their MFA program. Classes start Tuesday. I'm in CA. Hustle?

  22. My financial aid disbursment needs to post in my bank account. Right now. I'm so broke.

  23. I'm sorry that I'm not physically or mentally disabled, a woman, have darker skin tone, or have any military experiences.

      Being a woman won't get you very far these days, either. Can't speak for the rest of them.

      I went to two new groups over the course of the three weeks I've been here. I even went to the first group a second time. Problem is, it's painfully awkward. I am very social and enjoy meeting new people, but it seems like the new people aren't as open to new-comers. Only a few will introduce themselves, most don't want to have a conversation with the new girl, etc. It's awkward and uncomfortable, but I'm still getting out there and trying to make it work.

      Yeah, but it's not advisable to do a whole lot of exploring on your own here. I also lived here for undergrad a few years ago and did a lot of sightseeing then.
