Musings of a Grad Student

My first month as an Information and Library Science student wizzed by! I thought I'd send out an update into the bloggosphere...

First Thoughts: Where did the time go? I've done more in the past four weeks than I've done all summer!
Second Thoughts: I thought there was no hope for me as a public speaker. But I successfully gave a presentation without hyperventilating for the first time ever! Woot! So, there's now a glimmer where once total blackness existed.
Final Thoughts: I've got to push a little harder now. I'm approaching the time when initial enthusiasm wanes and demands increase. Time to activate will power and super student strategies (i.e. stocking up on caffeine).

P.S. A girl in my class wore this T shirt and I thought it was great. This link is to the store where I got the pic.

  1. Congrats on surviving your first month! Isn't the amount of work you have to do in grad school just crazy? haha.
    This is year 2 for me, but it's the first semester that I'm taking all my classes online. It's definitely a big adjustment. Good luck with the rest of the semester!

  5. How exciting and congrats! I'll be starting an MLIS program in the fall (hopefully). I'm graduating with my Bachelor's in May in English. Looking forward to hearing more about this from you!

  8. Congrats on making it past the first month! There were times I wasn't sure how I'd make it through (took me 3 years to get my MLIS, going to school at night, working full-time during the day), and caffeine was definitely my friend. Yes, I was good terms with Diet Coke and Diet Dr. Pepper.
