I think I just got initiated into an honor society by accident. I'm in my first full grad class. There isn't even a final grade yet. Everything else on my record is either related to education or at the undergrad level. Yet, I was invited to be part of this honor society. Estimated GPA of 3.7 or better.
And I'm struggling in my first grad class. The mid term was a disaster. (No really, like just passing). I'm uncomfortable with our semester project work. It was really meant to be a design of experiments project, but as no one in our group had access to a real world situation, we did a meta-analysis paper. The prof approved the synopsis, but completing the work was a challenge. My classmates think our presentation was great. I hope the prof feels the same way about the written work.
(Of course, after seeing a couple of the last projects to present, I don't quite as uncomfortable about our project as I did.)
Now I'm sifting through the semester's material picking out the parts that he has noted on the review list. At least this time, there IS a review list. It doesn't help that I'm having a hard time concentrating.
At this point, my sisters would remind me that I spent more than half the semester being extremely ill.
So, time to buckle down and get this done. I need to prove to myself that I deserve the honor that I have already received.
