Done for the semester FINALLY!
I survived one big part of the gauntlet necessary to go from Masters to Ph.D. - the stats class I took this semester. (That goes along with taking comprehensive exams and the dissertation.) One down (ironically before I finish my Masters) and it feels good. I'm definitely more relieved than I thought I'd be. I was honestly so mentally and physically exhausted as this was definitely the hardest class I've ever taken, or at least hardest that's ever counted for so much (get a D or lower and you're out of the program, get a C and that has to be the last one of you career since you only get one and I haven't used mine yet) and honestly, I'm guessing I got a B, and I hope so, but even if I got the C, I'm just so glad it's over. I learned a lot, but who can keep up at that pace? The projects people turned in before this exam completely filled 3-in 3-ring binders! And some people had theirs professionally bound. Damn brown-nosing M.B.A. students (seriously, I'm not stereotyping, it said M.B.A. student on the cover).
