Well, my first year as a graduate student is in the books. This is an online master's program, so that in itself was a challenge but I managed to meet my goals. I learned how to do some things online that I had not done before. I am by no means an expert on the computer, but I am learning and growing and enjoying the process.
I took four classes this year and, for the most part, I enjoyed them all. The research class was very hard and I wish it had been divided up into two different classes. But, that's a story for another time. Still, I am proud to say that I completed each class successfully and made all A's. So, as a graduate student, I have a 4.0 GPA. I can live with that!
I also have made some pretty good connections this semester. We had a lot of group projects and discussions and I thoroughly enjoyed my experiences in those. Group work seems to be a lot different in grad school than in undergrad. I feel like we take it more seriously and have more invested in it. But I have come out of these with some people I know that I will encounter again in my career.
It was a great first year and I am happy that I made the choice to do this. It's time for me to get registered for next year. I'm pretty sure I know what I'll be taking in the fall, but I'm doing to keep looking for possible electives that peak my interest. It will be a good semester, no doubt. I appreciate everyone's encouragement and support. Keep sending me that good energy!
