Grad School, Week 1

So I suppose it's time for an update.

By 7pm tonight I will have completed my first week of classes for my program. I'm still trying to come to a conclusion about all of it. One, I'm really intimidated because even though this summer semester is only technically two classes, it has the work of 4...which makes me a bit apprehensive about what my workload will be like when the full semesters start this fall. Two, it's a lot of extra work outside of class as well (like 6 hours of observations per week outside of class + extra technology tutorials + tons of studying and projects) and I'm not sure if I can handle it in addition to working. But, at the same time, I'm really excited about it. The topics are interesting, the people seem really nice and hey -- it's USC how can I NOT be excited about being here for another year? :)

All the work, moving back home, losing sleep, and the stress -- I'm really hopeful that it'll all be worth it for this program. Yup.

In other thoughts...hm. Random: what's with all these new eyeshadow "packages" -- have you all seen them? Interesting. I'm intrigued. . . . I need just one more day to myself, no obligations, before I can commit myself fully to this program. . . . I miss my Damy. . . . I have to go to the mall, there's quite a few things I need. . . . Is it just me or is the weather today weird? . . . My foot's asleep. . . . I'm making too many random comments and therefore I choose to stop now. :)
