Hi Annice, I too can feel your *pain*. I just graduated in May after what I "mildly" classify as 3 years of "hell". It was extremely hard. I worked full-time in the evenings, did a 21-hour per week internship and took 3-4 classes each semester. I only slept like 3 hours per nite. I tried to put in some time for "free time activities" but it was really hard. A lot of people absolutely can NOT relate to the grad school experience. It's hard because unlike "most" undergrads whose only "job" is to go to school, we WORK as well. Grad school is a HUGE sacrifice and it is difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It will come though. I remember my last night of classes, it was such a surreal experience FINALLY being done. It will be a proud moment for you though when you are done, just think about that. THAT is what will get you through. What I always thought about was that I was the very first person in my family to get a Master's degree. My family, my friends and I know my D*Phi*E sisters were very proud of me. Be sure to surround yourself with POSITIVE people. Remember that you will have time for fun down the road with those of your carefree friends who are not as supportive. What are you getting your Master's in? If you ever want to vent, feel free to PM me.
In Greek Spirit,
Allison
