Today was my first day as a graduate student in the Women's and Gender Studies (will be referred to as WGST from here on out) master's program.
After a long and frustrating admissions process, I'm finally here and getting settled into my new life as a grad student. I had my first class tonight, met some amazing people (some are a part of my cohort, others are not) and get in touch with some great programs here on campus.
I feel like I have a billion things to do before I'm officially feeling "settled", but things are moving along quite smoothly after a last minute rushed move to Michigan on Monday.
My first impression of grad school: This is going to be fun! I know, I sound like such a dork and my perspective will probably change as the semester progresses and I get more and more and more work to do. For right now though I'm enjoying my time and trying to get as much done ahead of time as possible.
I realize that throughout the semester/year keeping this up will be increasingly difficult, so it'll be interesting to see what little snippets actually get posted here.
That's all for now though because this grad student had an exciting first day and needs to digest and get some rest before the "fun" of grad school gets out of hand!
