so, i decided to take this intensive course during my spring break that i’ve been bitching about forever and i have to say, half way through, it’s probably one of the best decisions i’ve made in my grad school career! this is the third class i’ve had with this particular professor (she’s the marketing chair so i need to milk out as many marketing classes i can) and it’s cool cause she finally remembers my name now without my damn name tag. all through grad school i’ve been the BEST wallflower, managed to get away with MINIMAL class participation, and was lucky enough to be part of the best teams for group work. for the first time, i finally feel like i “belong” in this class, i’m not afraid to answer discussion questions and represent my group and speak up in class. i know this seems pretty lame and blah blah but it’s such an amazing feeling for me. i’ve always been intimidated in class and now i look forward to it! and the best part is that after one week, it’s OVER! 17 weeks of class rolled into 6 days and it’s done! and the prof is so cool she lets us out super early cause 6 straight hours of class is just “too much,” even for her. i love it! it’s a shame that i finally became a grad student during my last grad school class ever. but it feels awesome.
