Hey ashiepoo, what are some things that drew you to UC Davis? I'm planning on applying there and would be nice to hear what stood out to you during the process. Thanks!

My goodness, roaches at Davis too? I'm seeing way too many roaches here in honolulu already

Wooo! Made it to Bloomington! I love how green the environment is and the architecture is so pretty. I wasn't expecting the humidity though but it's not too bad. Orientation is next week =D

Drive carefully in Davis. Why did the turkey cross the road?

*finishes all the administrative tasks for classes (should've been done earlier this month) and responds to all the emails*

So happy seeing y'all get settled! I'm so excited to get started, and so is my advisor--so much so that he's decided to send me abroad to do a preliminary archival trip already before the year starts. Ahhhhhhhh, this is so great.

What's up with the new layout???? 

GSAS orientation is tomorrow; that's my first official school thing, then classes start the following week.  I just bought the books for my classes and just looking at that list is exhausting! 

When do classes actually start for you guys?

I know, it's freaky, right?

I have orientation the 3/4th; classes start the 9th.

Lucky.  I start on the 27th of this month.

I've been in touch with my adviser through e-mails on summer reading in preparation for my own research and I have definitely encountered the "one word e-mail" of sorts.  I remember spending an hour or two writing, re-writing, editing, and re-editing an e-mail to my adviser, only to get a single sentence back that he clearly wrote in one minute.

I started today. No complaints or stress yet haha

The layout will definitely take some time getting used to

Survived my first week of classes and assignments, and now I'm in my second ^.^ I even managed to get a grader position for an undergrad course; nothing too glamorous but Im satisfied as a first yr MA haha. 

I feel the same way, wacyeah and ashiepoo72! My adviser, and grad mentor have been SO helpful and welcoming. In fact, the entire dept is great. I am very happy to be here, and I know I made the right choice by coming to IU.

Been completely AWOL since my classes started.

 

I I love this place: my advisor is nurturing and caring, the cohort and dept are ridiculously friendly and welcoming. Dept drinks every Friday and cohort drinks Wednesday's. Have language + 3 grad classes + AT'ing (helping/observing the TA) so my schedule is packed.

 

anyone signing up for attending any conferences yet?

Posted

IU has a major conference every year, sometime in the Fall. Unfortunately, its too late for me to sign up, but I'd love to participate in next year's conference; depending on the focused issue. If I have something presentable by the end of this semester, I'll look at other conferences in Spring/Summer 2016
