      you have to read an entire book for each class, each week. I'll be reading two books this week in addition to articles.

  7. Why is everyone in grad school either married or in relationships? Why do I have the displeasure of having to constantly meet them? Where are the fun people?!

      Um...I'm engaged and we are still "fun people" who go and hang out with co-workers and people from my cohort.

      They usually end up as acceptances! At least in my case, so don't lose hope!

  19. This semester I have one online class and one class on campus. I'm not sure that online works with the way my brain functions. I keep logging into the class and reading my books but the lecture notes and the assigned reading aren't matching up

      AKCarlton

      I LOVE online courses...I wish I could take my entire degree online. I learn so much more that way.

  23. got an email from grad director that some of my fellow cohort peeps haven't registered for two courses this spring, which may mean they are cancelled, yet they are REQUIRED. He pleaded them to register. C'mon people! I don't need this stress from you!

    1. AKCarlton

      AKCarlton

      Possibly...but one of them is literally a course that is required by everyone...so there is no way it could be canceled. The other is one of the electives...it's just baffling. We are only offered 3 courses this semester, which means we are required to take all three as grad students.
