intro / vent

Hello :-)  I've only lurked here a little because I graduated from PSU with my BA in Dec 2008.  I got engaged in April 2008.  We're getting married July 17, 2010.  Four months to go!  yikes.

So I started grad school this semester.  IDK why I thought that was a good idea.  I should have waited until this coming fall.  Then I decided to take 9 credits... even stupider.  I tried to drop one of my classes but I'll have to pay the university some money because my financial aid will be dropped.   So I'm sticking it out. 

I have no motivation to do grad school right now.  I have a good job at PSU (no benefits but FI has those so I'll be okay).  I have a little boy and I'm planning a wedding and I'd just rather not be in school right now.  But, I actually only have a month left for my classes. 

I'm acing STAT because I tutor math for a living.  I'm doing okay in my one education class.. I have an A but judging by my performance recently it will probably drop to a B.  I'm doing horribly in my other education class.  I can't keep up and I'm failing wayyy behind.  I have a B there now but I think I'll end up with a C. 

That gives me a 3.0 GPA for my first semester of grad school.  Is that bad?  I mean, it's my first, and I plan to take classes one at a time in the future so I can ace them all and devote full attention to them.

Fi was VERY upset when I told him I wanted to drop a class.  I graduated high school and college early for my age and he has always been so proud of me.  I'm stressed beyond belief though.  I'm breaking out like a teenager.  I go to bed at 9 and can't wake up at 7.  I have so much to do that I don't know where to start.  Fi is very helpful and so are my parents.  But... ugh.

Vent over.

  • It is ok to slow down just so you do not burn out to the point of not wanting/ being able to do anything. You have already acomplished so much so soon. You deserve to slow down and breath. This will let you focus a little more on pampering yourself and being with the family. That is never a bad thing. Plus a 3.0 gpa is fine.
