Good call

Feb 15, 2011 21:50

Today I started arrangements to graduate in December instead of June, so I could have more time to work on my thesis, and get in an extra class or two, since I like classes, and wow. The relief I feel is physical. I'm practically dizzy with it. Suddenly everything else feels so much more manageable, and I have a lot more hope for getting by day to ( Read more... )

Sometimes, taking the extra time is absolutely the right solution. I'm so glad that you're cutting yourself some slack and that it's taken a load off of your shoulders!

Good call indeed.

More credit hours are always a good thing to have under your belt, particularly if you decide to go for a PhD a bit later. I've always thought that two years for a MA was a bit of a stretch--an exercise in time management rather than higher learning.

Sit back. Take a deep breath. Drink some tea. You've got time. Doesn't it feel good?

Oh, it feels fantastic. Thank you! And I agree, two years for a MA is not nearly long enough, especially considering we're on the quarter system, so terms are only 10 weeks. I feel like I've barely gotten my toes wet.
