End of Semester!

Well, "happy day, happy day," the semester is over. One good thing about going to school, about the time you get tired of the classes you are taking, they're over! These courses have been seven weeks longer than the on-line courses I am used to, so I was getting pretty tired of them. I think I've done well this first semester in my Ph.D. program. I'm expecting A's in each class except for Statistics, where, if I get a B, I'll be doing the happy dance! It's hard to predict - even after studying more for this test than any test I can remember, I still left the room Monday night feeling very unsettled. Did I pass? Didn't I? This class has left me with a very unwelcome feeling of inadequacy that I haven't had in years. It's even sparked those "I forgot my locker combination" dreams I haven't had in years, either! Anyway, what is done is done, and I can't change any of it, so I just live for the day grades come out. Next semester, I'm hoping, will be different. I've decided just to drop the second part of this course, and start my three qualitative courses. They should be easier - qualitative research is the way my mind works, not quantitative research.
