Wow, that semester really flew by! I have now completed my first semester of graduate school. I should add that I got all A's. Apparently, grades don't matter as much in grad school, but it made me feel "worthy" nonetheless.
My first semester was not necessarily what I had anticipated. Not good or bad really, just different. I have polled my Facebook friends to see what their first semester experiences were like. It has been a mixed bag. I know some had a horrible experience and others had a tolerable adventure. I suppose it's like most things - it is what you make it.
