(no subject)
is what I am at this point. I never realized that graduate school was going to be this tough. Then again, I've never really thought many things through... haha. Anyway, I'm taking one of my many breaks from studying for my midterms because I feel so lost and I don't know what I should be doing. That, and my throat hurts and I have a headache. Aside from that, everything is dandy...
Well, except that I have a midterm tomorrow and Wednesday and they seem to be quite tough. I'm not sure if I will be able to make it through the semester without doing poorly in at least one class. It's taken me by surprise how truly unprepared I am despite having recently finished my college career. Could it be that the curriculum I had just gone through is woefully inadequate?
Just a word of advice to anyone who ever decides to go to graduate school: think long and hard about what you want to do later in life. Does studying hard and working your butt off make you feel accomplished? Are you a fairly quick study? These are but a few things to consider since the pace in graduate school is much, much faster than in undergrad. That, or maybe I just slack a whole lot. haha. Anyway, not sure if I will fail any courses this semester. If I do, I'm not sure, but maybe I will move back to Massachusetts. It's hard to shake the feeling that if I fail in graduate school, how does that reflect my skillset and how it would apply to any engineering job I hold in the future?? I know I am certainly not the brightest bulb in the basket, but I would think that five years of college would mean something...
Okay, enough lamenting. I just need to get back to studying now since there is oodles of stuff to review. Can't believe I have fallen so far behind already. Wish me luck everyone!! I will do my utmost, but sometimes even that is not enough, sadly. Hope everyone is well!!
