I will be attending UCI.
How are you all preparing for your programs? It's been a while since I've been in school, so I will need to recalibrate my brain. ;-P
For those of you who are waitlisted/still waiting to hear back, hang in there! Sending support.

@thewholeenchilada Cheers to you as well! I'm moving from San Francisco. What about you?
@Cengstro Very exciting, indeed! I'm not quite sure how the comfort/assistance animal process works, but I hope you are able to work something out with them!

Hey all! I hope you're enjoying the holiday weekend. I was fortunate enough to gain my first acceptance (took me three years!), and am trying to start preparing early to fall back into the academic flow. I know many of you are also anxious about returning to academia, and am wondering what you are doing (or plan to do) to prepare for the change in lifestyle.
I feel a little behind on my theory, and I had just started researching for an article when I received acceptance, so I am planning to get back into the habit of reading/writing every day, and practicing time management by scheduling around two hours of daily work after my 9-5 job. I am starting to make lists of foundational theory works and materials for my article, and plan to read one piece from each list every night (or a book chapter, or whatever), making sure to take organized notes so I have them for reference.  I've also recently started using Mendeley to catalog my sources, but I'm not quite in the habit yet.
What are you doing/what would you do to prepare? :-)
