Well summer break is officially over for me…

If you didn’t notice, I took the month of May off from writing about my life. This wasn’t actually planned, I was just really busy. I started playing in a flag football league on Tuesday nights with the guys at work and also playing on two kickball teams on Wednesday and Thursday nights. 

There was honestly one point in which I was looking more toward the work week than I was the weekend. I know that sounds crazy, but my weekdays were filled with fun activities that allowed me to exercise and be social.

Sadly though, school starts again tonight and it’s back to the grind. The rest of the summer will be filled with work during the day and class two nights a week. However, on the plus side, I should be able to get back into running again and I’ll probably start enjoying my weekends a little bit more.

This is my view on Monday nights.

Managerial Economics = Blah.

Last week I took my first test of grad school.

I studied for an hour or so each night the entire week before. I made tons of note cards. I reviewed the homework several times. I was pretty prepared.

However, after taking the test I left the class feeling like I had flat out failed it.

I was unsure of the multiple choice. I struggled with the short answer. I took a ridiculous amount of time to work the first of two questions which were worth 50% of the test; I DIDN’T EVEN FINISH THE LAST QUESTION. I just ran out of time.

I was pretty bummed about it. I genuinely questioned whether grad school was really such a good idea… It’s kind of hard.

Then last night, we got our grades back.

Turns out, all my worrying and being bummed was for nothing. I ended up making a C.

I guess my teacher realizes his tests are ridiculously hard, and gives points for being mostly right, kind of right, and even some for, at least you tried.    

Also, he talked about possibly curving the grades a little bit because everyone did so badly. Who knows, I might even come out with a B.
