Graduate School?

[KSUViolet06]

I'm in my 3rd week of my masters program and I love it.

It's interesting how different grad is from undergrad:

*all my classes are one a day a week for 2 hours.
*There's less homework and busy work.
*There are fewer papers/projects, but the ones you DO have require much more work and are worth more in your grade.
*Class time is mostly devoted to discussion. There is little to no lecturing.

I'm in week 4 and ditto everything except my classes are 3 hours long *ick*. It's so hard to focus for that long. I'm usually ready for a nap within the first hour with the lecture-hardy teachers. But it's been pretty awesome overall.

I'm still excited. I had my appointment with my academic advisor regarding advance standing and I was approved. I paid the fees, went over my schedule and program and barring any unforeseen complications and/or disasters, I will be graduating in May 2008 with a Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential AND a Masters in Education from the University of La Verne. YAY!

1.5 years of working my butt off will have paid off.

Yay you! I'm still on track for 2009 myself, but I'm not sure whether I'll be done in the spring or not.

This is week 3 of official teaching in my masters programme. I must say, it's like boot camp. Monday I spent all afternoon lying on my back underneath a 17th century dining table, looking at woodworm damage. Today we hiked up and down Stirling Castle looking and critiquing reconstruction. We've got to have our dissertation subjects sorted out by next week (thankfully, mine is good to go, w00t!). Missing my fiance terribly, but loving Scotland. The resources for study are amazing, and having so many significant sights to study and significant collections (public and private) so close is *awesome*.
