Wednesday, October 14th (I'm doing some catch-up blogging -- apologies for the delay -- I'm keeping them chronological though)
So after three intense days of finals, we are now officially done with the first half of this semester. We started on Sunday (Sunday!) and had the next two finals on Monday and Tuesday.
This first half-semester has been a whirlwind.
I think everyone would agree that the intensity has been extremely high. You first have to cope with getting into the school mode and getting adjusted to a new location. Then you have the student clubs, school activities, workshops, symposiums, lectures, etc, etc. You are also knee-deep in career activities.
Plan on working 10-12 hours a day and spending a chunk of your weekend on school. We only had class on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday but it always seemed like my Wednesdays and Fridays were the busiest. If you are coming with a significant other or have one back home, you should have a long talk about what this semester is going to look like. That said, it's all really interesting and fun. Completely worth the time -- just busy.
