Grad School Thoughts!
Well, after spending a majority of yesterday preparing for my first grad school class, and after going to that class, I have decided to come back here and describe exactly what I think about this whole 'Grad School' thing.
Yesterday I was pretty certain that I was going to have a panic attack as the day went on. I spent about seven hours re-reading, highlighting, and trying to finish the questions for the class that night. I knew there was going to be a quiz, and I knew that it was going to be a HUGE difference from undergrade. So I stressed. But, when I actually got to class and as it went on, I felt a little better about it. I'm still a bit worried about the multiple presentations I'm going to have to give this semester, but hey. I got 100% on the first quiz we had. So that was something. My second class is tonight, and I'm hoping that it will go just as smoothly. I have everything done for that, though I am going to go back and highlight this afternoon.
I'm just a little nervous still. I think that once I actually get into researching and stuff, things will be better. They don't feel bad right now. I just feel a little overwhelmed, but I'm not sinking! So that's good!
