So you’re probably wondering “what’s with the title” right? Well I couldn’t chose between “Stressed” or “Stressful Semester” or “Semester Over” or anything of the sort so I figured I’d just mashed everything together and entitle this blog post that.
Anywho, did you miss me?! Well I hope you did. I miss blogging. I haven’t done so since the semester started. Actually I’ve barely done anything not academic related this semester that’s how demanding it was. Ok so that’s a bit of an exaggeration but I think you’re getting my point. I am beyond ecstatic that this semester is over.
So here’s a brief run down of my obligations just so you feel a bit of my pain:
- 3 courses ie 9 graduate level credit hours
- 3 hours of graduate research
- 3 leadership positions
- Volunteering twice a week
Seems as though 3 was my magic number this semester. None the less I was able to smang (smash it and bang) out:
- 2 term papers
- 3 orals
- 2 take home exams
- homework (who assigns homework during exams?)
While none of my grades turned out the way I anticipated, I still managed to finished strong with a 3.34 GPA! And now I’m officially done with all my coursework for my Master of Science in Electrical Engineering!
Next steps?
- write masters thesis
- defend masters thesis
- complete paperwork to enter Ph.D program
- pass Ph.D qualifiers
Piece of cake? Nope I think I’ll take the whole thing! 🙂
Well thanks for taking the time out for reading this and most importantly – HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Enjoy time with your loved ones and get as much relaxation in as possible. Whether you’re returning to work or another half of a school year rest up to make the second half just as successful if not more than the first half!
See you in the New Year!
