Just wondering if anyone out there is dealing with end of the semester school work. I have three papers due in the next week and a half. And to top that off, I had a job interview today (good stuff, but it meant more work since I had to do some research and prepare a presentation).
Well good luck to everyone and feel free to vent your school work frustrations here :cool-smil

I have 1 take home exam and... That's it. lol
Well tomorrow I have a group project where we're recording our group doing a 1-1 counseling session. But other than that and the take home exam, I'm done for the summer!

Tomorrow I wrap up my last presentation. Team projects + everyone having a full time job = tough. Once I finish that presentation one more take-home lab project which is probably only 5-10 hours of work.
The farther I get in my masters program, the more I want to quit. Two classes left!

Two classes, come on man, you're very close. I have 8 classes left in my PhD program and I am hoping to finish that up in a year and a half (I'm doing the program part time).

AMD -- have you ever worked, then gone back to school? It's awful. You have the 40+ crowd that asks terrible questions or prefaces each statement with "As a mother", when everyone is working syncing schedules is damn near impossible, you have little/no time to really hang out with friends. I just hope it opens some doors for me in the future. My faculty is really top notch (learning about managing a government program from a 2 star general who ran some high profile projects is damn interesting.)
As much as I complain -- I may end up forking more money over for a PHD eventually.

I can imagine that some of your classmates can be a real pain in the ass.
My other post was mainly about the fact that I would love to go back and be an undergrad. I can honestly say I was better at being a college student than I've been at just about anything else I've ever tried.
I don't regret going back for my masters, but I don't miss it either!

I regret taking a year off between my master's and PhD. Although the year off was nice.

Say what? Dr. Daseal; who'd have guessed that one?
