I'm reminding myself- just as I did here- that I got myself into this. I wanted this. I was so very excited a year ago, getting my I.D. and meeting new comrades. Its just that now I know the reality of it all- how it feels to commute in and out of Boston after a full day of work, how absurd it is to attempt balancing a production's tech week and finals, how comrades are really just other grad students and I can feel so very distant from them. To be completely honest, the whole ordeal is-more often than not-rather lonely.
To maintain an excited spirit! A looking mind and an optimistic heart! To remember back to a year ago when this all was fresh! Last year I was full of looking forward. Maybe today I need to be full of looking back.
Ohhhh, best of luck and well-wishes to you! I haven't gone to grad school, yet, but I was with my husband through six years of his and it was just ... stressful. But just think of the glorious moment when you're finished! And you've accomplished what you set out to do - something huge.
