Another semester in the books means a little reflection time. I didn’t do as well as I wanted to this semester, not just grade wise but staying on top of things as well.

I made 1 B and 3 As usually I would be fine with that but the reason I’m so mad at myself is because I got a B because I wasn’t really trying but it was so hard to force myself to care when all my classes talked about the same things and were more or less structured the same as well, it felt like doing the same thing 4 times but I’m reminding myself that we’re in a pandemic and that it’s okay.

I am sad to report that I have not studied for the gre at all. I mean I barely started this week, it was just an endless cycle of “I’ll start studying at the beginning of the month and then take it at the end of the month” and the end of the month would come and i hadn’t studied at all. The price is so high and it’s so hard for me to come across that money that I don’t want to waste it. The program I want to get into only accepts 8-12 people so I have a couple backups but the backups don’t require the gre and I’ve already paid the application fee so I mean either way I’d lose money. The due date is quickly approaching and while I have time, I obviously don’t have the same kind of time I had before. This mostly just feels like what I did my senior year of high school and I promised myself I would never let myself do this again and here I am. I don’t know I’m just really stressed, taking another practice GRE today to reevaluate how much time I need to study, maybe I can take the test before I go back home for break.

Small life update:

I’ve narrowed it down to the 4 schools I’m applying for for grad school

my goal for the week is to finalize a study plan for the GRE

I’ve already finished the applications (aside from the resumes and personal statements, etc.)
