So, here we are again. A new school year means new goals, projects, and changing thesis topics. Oh, and deadlines, too. Freshmen scurrying around campus with big, lost puppy dog eyes. That's how the new graduate students feel. Last year I was one of them. This time around I know the insanity that I've signed myself up for and paid for. I can't believe I pay people to stress me out!
In the first week of school I've already read the introductions of two books, and two articles. I have half an article and three more chapters to read as well as a chapter outline to complete. Oh, and I have to collect some data; fifty to seventy-five people on their cell phones tallied by sex and other factors. I've only got about forty to sixty-five more to go! And I'm blogging instead of working on reading. Here we go again, lol!
Actually, I wanted to start this blog to chronicle my time in grad school. Soon enough I'll be done. Sometimes there's so much junk that goes along with the grad school package (IRB paperwork, comps, and research, anyone?) that it doesn't seem like it, but time really does fly! But then I'll be right back into school to start a different masters program. And then a Ph.D. (Sometimes it really doesn't feel like it will end! Where's my career?! Will I ever not be broke?)
The spring semester of this year was a dozy for me, so I figured that this would be a good way to rant and rave about about some of my struggles. Or just to share some of my thoughts on my homework, put up something funny, ya know, whatever I feel like. So, on that note...Bad Project!
