Sleam Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Hi folks, I'm not sure if there's a thread already but here goes. I'm in a two-year program in writing and publishing. First semester was incredible, inspired, productive, fun. This semester not at all. Different faculty, boring methodology, uninspired. I'm still writing for myself but 10 weeks in and only one 5 page essay has been workshopped. Is this normal? To be expected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rheya19 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 In my experience, it's to be expected. I did a two-year MA and am in my first year of a PhD program now. I've definitely had semesters in which I was stimulated, supported, and productive, and ones in which I was just pushing through to the end of the semester. I do hope next year gets better for you. And now that you know the faculty you prefer working with, maybe you can make that work for you as your planning fall semester. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoirFemme Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Currently in this situation myself. Now wondering what my feedback will look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr. t Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Not that this is exclusive to grad school. I feel like much of my adult life has been on the swing between feeling bored, trivial, and useless and competent, respected, and motivated.
