All the Thoughts You'll Have the First Day of the Semester as a Grad Student

 

First day of grad school!

LetСAPPs geaux!


It feels good to be back on campus.

I missed this place. Smell that collegiate air. ItСAPPs going to be a great year.

 

Wait, whereСAPPs that building again?

I canСAPPt see through the sea of undergrads!


Whew. Found the room.

Time to claim my seat for the semester.


IСAPPm with my people!

It feels good to be with my fellow grad students, embarking on this new journey together.

 

Syllabus time.

LetСAPPs find out whatСAPPs on the agenda this semester.


Wait, I have to do how much reading?

ThatСAPPs the reading for just THIS WEEK?


Feeling overwhelmed now.

...and quick.


OK, time for coffee.

The answer is always coffee. Always.


What am I going to do for lunch?

** Look! So glad the Grad School knows we need to lunch while we learn. Free pizza!

 

Time to get started on my reading.

Library time! Because they have databases, printers AND coffee!


Oops. Just spent 30 minutes СAPPgetting organized.СAPP

Most of that went to writing down deadlines, СAPP holidays, and other obligations in a planner.


*Reads for four hours*

Not even halfway done. Time for another coffee.


Oh, hi, fellow-grad-student-whose-name-I-canСAPPt remember!

I didnСAPPt realize I would meet quite so many new people today.

 

Time for a change of scenery СAPP IСAPPll head home for a break.

*Must resist the urge to return to summer habits*

 

I need to eat something.

OK, IСAPPll order pizza JUST this once. IСAPPm going to tomorrow.


Time to knock out the rest of my reading!

*Reads until falls asleep*
