On day of classes down, whew! Only three more months to go - piece cake right? I had my first official day of classes yesterday and it was a breeze. Man if grad school is like this, I'm going to stroll right through it without breaking a sweat. If only...
I had my statistics class and it followed the standard formula for the first day: pass out the syllabus, talk about the course briefly, send students away early. I am hoping for more of the same today but we shall see what the afternoon holds. I suspect things will pick up in earnest on Thursday and then it's going to be nose to the books until the middle of December.
I have Statistical Methodology, Microeconomic Analysis, and Intro to Public Affairs. Three courses doesn't seem that bad, especially compared to some other graduate programs (law, medicine, PhD), but I have been assured by second-year students that they lay it on pretty heavy. Stats is meant to be especially difficult and since I'm not much of a math guy, my hope rests on latching on to a smart study group and hanging on.
I am a little anxious for the start of the semester but I also feel ready to get going. This has been a long time coming and those who know me, know how well I deal with waiting. That said, we'll see what I'm saying a month from now when the first round of midterms are looming.
