Time flies. It's already spring break. Although i am nearing the end of my first year of college I remind myself I have 6 years left including law school.

Cr*P.
My Spring break at work (Univ of CA) is the week before my Spring Break from school (CA State U)...so I have class during one break and work during the other. grrr...

Still, I get to go to DC for work/mini-vacation during the work break.
Not that you really get breaks in a doctoral program
Be safe!

LOL!
It's occasionally overwhelming (been talked off the ledge more then a few times), but doable. I have my qualifying exam on 9.2.09, then I can advance to candidacy and start writing.

Doc is in Education and I'll be using my site/students as a qualitative case study. Only people who will care about this will be my committee and myself.

The challenge is I work full time so any free time is spent researching and writing.
I have no life.

What are you majoring in?

Seriously, be glad you are in school right now. I feel for my Senior's who are thinking of staying a 5th year, or are actively looking for work/internship opportunities before applying to graduate school.
