what the fuck am i getting myself into with this grad school stuff

oh Merdeyeux, commiserations - that's rubbish of them, especially with how long they keep you hanging on until they decide. coming back STRONGER THAN EVER is the best revenge, though, esp if you've kept your brain in trim w/ learning French.

that looks like a rad book kamerad

chrz for the commiserations, darragh + c sharp. I am bummed but I think I can take a positive that isn't just trying to appease myself from it, in that I really will be better prepared for it next year, having spent my whole masters focused on one tiny thing after another. That is unless I accidentally find myself being crushed by full time work.

also have the advantage of being in a small, friendly department, so I'll make sure to be the creepy old graduate hanging around with students in reading groups etc as much as possible and no one will mind.

anyway now I have to remind myself that I'm still doing my masters and write about 5000 words in the next three days O SHI.

presenting my thesis/research project tomorrow at a big-ass conference tomorrow. never been more nervous for anything in my entire life.

I did not need to see this thread bumped. I shall hold my peace...for now.

ey how you doin man? any developments/further info on the RADGE FB update?

get radge, stay radge, walk 25+ miles, sleep

they are not further developments tbrr

there are no further developments as yet

fingers crossed that it's at the simpler end of the possibilities

rly.

ay why must writing always be the awful dichotomy between not knowing what you're saying and knowing what you're saying so well that you can't be bothered taking the time to put it into words.

It's official! As of today, I have an M.B.A. with a concentration in Information Systems from Kent State University. Rock!!

2 hours' sleep y/n - impt qn

are you tired?

what do you freaking think

if anything the caffeine has strained me - if I can hold out another 8 and a half hours it is OVER.

It depends on how you normally operate. I usually get to a stage where I can't do any more, so two hours of sleep will be just enough to get me back into working. But I know people who have to work through the night to get it done, as they just won't be able to get up/that little sleep will actually make them MORE sleepy.

if you aren't working productively, then take a nap. if you can still focus, keep going until you can't work productively.

if I throw in 2 hrs sleep I cut down on my revision time and possibly forget some facts fresh in my mind - I have written down all the essential details though

exam begins at 10am which is in 5 1/2 hours

am still able to operate - I think I might sleep from 5-7

if I stay up all night, any tips for keeping focused in exam?

Wait, it's an EXAM? God, I thought you were burning up doing an essay or something. I can't do exams on no sleep.

Have heard that a small amount of sugar helps the memory, though. No idea if it's an old wives tale, but seeing as I usually need a can of pop before I do exams it can't hurt.

good luck usa

dude - if you're taking an exam, get as much sleep as possible - i almost had to take an english comp/writing class when i started grad school, because i'd had only 4 hours of sleep when i sat for the placement exam.

2.5hrs sleep

gl dude.

Absolute best of luck. Kill those questions.

yeah get in there with a 'ws this paper' mentality.
