Counting down...

...yet avoiding counting down b/c then I am forced to face up to how much I have to do! I'm going to take liberties w/ you, my captive audience, to draw some sympathy here. Here's what I have to do before May 15th:
  • 1 presentation
  • 3 reaction papers
  • 2 final 10-page papers
  • 1 potential re-write of a paper (b/c I really screwed it up)
  • 1 take home final
  • a final exam
  • a 15+ page writing project w/the professor of my research team
  • find some place to hire me for my fieldwork internship next fall
What's funny is that even though I feel like this is a crapload of work, doing it is nowhere near the agony that being in engineering or premed was. Wow, I can't believe that optimism. Anyway, if I make it out of this period alive, hit me up for some partying! Til then, wish me luck!

rumor has it that some grad schools/programs don't have so much work...blah. i guess i wouldn't feel like was getting as much out of it if there wasn't any suffering.

steph,

i can only speak for cornell, but we have a lot of work in grad school here. the only difference from undergrad is that it is all incredibly easy and the average grade they give out is an A- in most classes. yay for grade inflation!
