I don't know if I am ready for this
I am on my way home from spending the weekend with Claire. Because of Labor day I had a long weekend and I don't have classes on Tuesdays. And Lab work hasn't really started. I am having a meeting with my lab advisor tomorrow. So it was a good weekend to spend with Claire in terms of work. I did a fair bit of the homework that was due and once I am done with this post I'll spend the rest of the bus ride reading for my Algorithm class.
The problem is that I am still not sure if I am ready for this. Gradschool I mean. The idea of everything terrifies me. Work, research, school and finding time for myself and Claire on top of it all. All of last week I was stressing out about money. I have calmed a little bit with that, being with Claire helped. Having someone to help me take my mind of things is nice. I have to pay WPI tomorrow. If everything worked out right with the sending money from my Norwegian bank to my American I should have the money to do so too. And I got told by Lanekassen that they will transfer money over so that is good too. By the end of this week I should hopefully not be freaking out about money anymore. The problem was also that I got a new phone with a new plan that is not terribly much more than my old plan. But I am not sure I use it enough to justify that and since I am an international student they asked for a deposit which was more than I expected. I paid it at the time but the more I think about it the more that was a bad idea. So I am thinking about going to the AT&T store on Friday and return the phone. And then I'll rather get a new phone next year when I have had time to budget for it.
