sgaw10 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Moved into my new apartment yesterday. I am homesick for my precious city for sure, but I'm proud of myself for driving so much stuff stuff five hours all by myself. And I have central AC for the first time in four years. Such a luxury!

sgaw10 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Confirmed my first rotation with a PI I truly admire. Had orientation today and feeling confident. Transitioning from quarter system to semester system will likely be rough at first. Otherwise I'm excited to begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, many of my second-year classes will be 6 weeks. For semester classes, the big thing is when your breaks are, and how often. My old school had no breaks but a week off two weeks before classes were over. That semester hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, in undergrad I liked not having any homework to do over breaks. Plus if you hate a topic in class, it does not drag on like it would in a semester. Oh well. I think it's mostly nostalgia for undergrad overall for me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bibliophile222 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I got a B on an exam for a physics course that's been kicking my ass! Yaaaaaay!!! I don't even know how it's possible, since I felt less prepared going in and felt worse about the outcome then for the first exam which I got a C+ on. I mean, the answer for one of my problems was a giant question mark, and I somehow still got a B! Celebrations are in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some bug bites and an unidentified rash on my leg in the process, but it was totally worth it. Taking a walk in the woods is definitely underappreciated. It's a great way to refresh your mind and get some inspiration. Adelaide9216 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelaide9216 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 So, despite the fact that I am going through another shitty week in my love life (as usual), here are the positive things career-wise: - will publish an op-ed exactly on my research topic and will get paid for it, - i have won another community award -i was invited to speak at a national conference that's exactly related to my doctoral work. i'm nervous because I don't have original data, but i said yes because they really wanted my expertise. -i was invited as a co-author to be part of a book that's exactly related to my research work, also got paid for that. bibliophile222 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshire_Cat Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I got an offer to be a tenure track faculty from a good institution. I am in a very rare field where this is still possible right out of grad school, and even with us, probably half of everyone graduating will have to take visitings this year because the market is rough. I am going to the school of my dreams, and I can't chalk it up to anything other than being incredibly blessed.
