Week Two: Learning the Ropes

I've made it through my second week and my first graduate school test with flying colors. Which I am very happy about, considering that my first test covered 100+ pages of reading in a book I couldn't get until Monday (Speed Reading Powers AWAY!).

But I really can't take the credit since my amazing cohort banded together to complete the study guide and have a picnic study circle the afternoon before our test.

One of the undersold qualities of graduate school is the shared dedication of the people in the program. It's nice to know that for once all of your classmates care about their performance and aren't just trying to squeeze by. Also being in a clinical program we tend to be comfortable with group mentality easily forming connections with others.

Well I hope so anyways.... would be a little weird to have a therapist who didn't like people. Although the out of touch psychologist does seem to be a common media joke.



Although I can't say I'm immune to that. I've begun riding the bus twice a week to cut down on fuel cost, and it also gives me great reading time. Public transportation is an interesting thing, probably the only time I'll see a business man sitting next to a large woman wearing a orange floral dress and no bra.

Yeah... not loving the photographic memory so much right now.

It's hard to relate to everyone.

For this upcoming week though I have another two tests (good thing I like to read) and more excitingly tonight I'm going to a drag show with my cohort for extra credit in our diversity course. Can't wait to write the response to that!
