So I continually find that life is so full of business that it is essentially impossible to keep this blog updated. Ugh, the life of a grad student. Plus I do wonder if anyone does actually read this, or if I am solely writing for myself.
This semester has been insane: I am taking two classes, teaching three labs, doing research, preparing for the prelims, and planning a wedding. I've had several mental breakdowns already, and I am stressed beyond belief, and WSU stupidly doesnt have a Fall break so we go for almost 3 months without a break...ugh.
I am taking Electromagnetism II this semester which is interesting and fun, but extremely difficult. Then I am taking Atomic Physics, which should be interesting and fun, but the professor has successfully made the class a bore, made the homework meaningless busy work, and I basically hate the class. It seems that grad school = crappy classes and professors(there are exceptions). I miss Valpo.
Two of my three labs have no desire to be there and so they are a pain to teach, and grading 75 labs a week is terrible. Research has been difficult because my adviser is on sabbatical and so is never around to help, except for very rare occasions, and so I am stuck in a rut.
And planning a wedding is terribly frustrating because it costs so much! Ack! It seems ridiculous that a wedding should cost around the price of a new car.
Oh and I bought a Condo in July, so I am a home owner now and having to deal with all the new costs associated with that and the inherent stresses.....I really need a vacation from life.
