surviving

in my masters program, we take one class at a time. sounds easy right? well, this one class is the same material covered in a semester-long class compacted into 6- 8 weeks. not so easy.

so, i must have been insane when i decided to take 3 classes at one time. the past 2 months have been pretty brutal. there have been a few meltdowns, more than a few all-nighters
and my fair share of "why am i doing this again?" moments.

well, i'm happy to announce that 2 of those classes are now over!
and somehow, i managed to get A's in both of them.
count my lucky stars.
i'm wishing i could rewind to my childhood years when my parents paid me $ per A on my report card.
i could use that money now more than i needed it then.

but, it does make me feel good to know that i will be graduating earlier than expected due to my hard work. the class members i started this program with will graduate April 2013, but I will be done July 2012.
i am now taking classes with people that started this program 9 months ahead of me. 
that makes me feel good.

i have about 9 months until i start internships... can't wait.
