holy rusted metal, batman!
in a little over 12 hours, i will attend my first class as a graduate student.
holy shit. how did this happen?
seriously, i don't feel like i deserve to be here. if only the school knew how little effort i put into my undergraduate work, i don't think they would have let me in. i wish i could go back four years and do it again. oh, the things i'd do differently. i feel like i wasted such an amazing opportunity. i could have learned so much more. i did well in some classes, but for the most part i put in minimal effort, passed the tests and that was it. i don't plan on repeating those mistakes.
at my orientation, the dean said that only 5% of americans hold professional degrees. that's somewhere around 14 million people. i'd like to think that i'm not the only one who didn't capitalize on the opportunities they had as an undergrad. i definitely want to learn everything i can while i'm here. i want to get a good field placement and gain some relevant work experience. i want to be more involved in different organizations. i don't want to waste time doing nothing.
those are my goals for the next two years, among others not related to school. i may not deserve this opportunity but i'll take it anyway.
just needed to vocalize my concerns. thanks for reading it. any advice?
