(New member- hope you don’t mind me joining in!)
I found that the first few weeks of graduate school were not quite what I expected. It wasn’t more work than undergrad, but I quickly discovered that the department where I am now has a different approach to history than my undergrad school (and I now feel stupid for not fully grasping what “known for its emphasis on intellectual history” would mean in practice). The people who did their undergrad here seemed more prepared for it than I did, but after a month or so I managed to adjust. Things can still throw me a bit, and I often wish I had taken a few philosophy classes in undergrad- I also hope to return to my previous university for the PhD (doing MA now).
Decently happy with marks so far- all of my classes are full year, so I don’t have official marks. Based on assignments so far I think I have two As, and an unknown in the class I just handed in my first essay for (Very worried about that class. Sigh.)
