I am going to shoot myself!!! Anyone in grad school out there?

MEC89 · 02-22-2001, 12:27 AM

If you are in grad school or have been in grad school let me ask you this, HOW DO YOU MANAGE ALL THIS STUFF AT ONE TIME? I am going nuts, I spent 3 weeks on a 15 page test, which I just finished. Now I have another test due this tuesday and I haven't started and the following week a literature review. I do not have the time to research all this. I used to be good at organizing my time. I hardly ever put any effort into undergrad studies and carried over a 3.0. Now I feel like I am over my head.
Sorry to whine and all, but if anyone has some insight on how to make things better in my situationlet me know.
Thanks all,

I simply take one night course at a time. That's about all I can do with a full-time job, two kids, and a life. It will take me 5 years to get my MBA. Next fall is my last class!

Depending on your magor, I found it more than enough to take the minimum required courses to maintain full time status--nine semester hours. Given that I also was a TA at the time. Unless of course you desire to finish early. Time management is of extreme importance and the upper level courses required greater effort and thought than my undergrad studies. Somewhere you need to reprioritize. Keep your head above the waterline and hang in there!

I still have nightmares about my dental school education. I dream that there was a test determining graduation and that I was unprepared and unaware. In truth, there was a National Board, but I was neither unaware or unprepared. It is somewhat traumatic, but I believe they make it that way intentionally. Just try to focus on your objective and try to get past it. Life never gets easy, but this obstacle will pass if you can just keep your perspective. Hope this helps a little.
