I know it's no longer a requirement for me to write in this blog, but to be honest, I kinda like it. So for all you followers out there who receive e-mail updates every time I add a new blog, I'm sorry! Anyways, It's official, the first week of classes has come and gone, and boy am I overwhelmed. Just as I always am at this time of year. Being bombarded with the stresses of every assignment that's due for the rest of the semester is overwhelming for everyone. Especially grad school students when they look through the syllabus and realize how much of their time they will spend reading! One professor actually said and I quote, "Don't stress out about the number of articles, they aren't very long. On any given week I'd say you shouldn't have to read more than, ahhhh 150 pages." HaHaHa! That's what I wanted to do right there in the middle of class, laugh one of those evil laughs like The Joker does. Reality Check, 150 pages is A LOT... especially when I'm supposed to read about that much for 3 other classes. I do like to read, don't get me wrong, however, that's not the only thing I like to do!
Next element of stress, the PLT, which I am taking tomorrow morning at 7:30am. I'll probably be the only person in the room that early in the morning, but I just want to get it over with. I've heard through the grapevine (I've never understood that expression) the it's the hardest test you will ever take. That's sure is scary because I've taking a lot of hard tests, and I'd say all these certification tests are at the top of the list. I also heard that my hand will most likely be tired at the end of the test. Duh, two hours of writing responses, sure thing my wrist is going to get tired. That's like doing 2 hours of cardio work, sure I'm doing to be out of breath! Actually, I've been procrastinating studying for this thing all day today, NOT that this is the first time I've studied cause it's not...I am just tired of it.
I should probably stop complaining now and finish with a closing statement about how proud I am of myself for making it this far in such a tough program and how excited I will be, and am, when I graduate with a Masters Degree! "Go Lisa, Go Lisa, Go Lisa, It's Your Birthday! :-)
