You see, it seems that Undergrad B. was much more eager than Grad B.
Undergrad B. could fly through her assignments and earn A's on half-assed work. She could effectively balance bar-hopping, writing essays and cramming for midterms; and even when she was writing papers with a buzz on and taking finals hungover, she still made Dean’s List. So she believed that Grad school would be her best option, that writing three eight-page papers per week would be fun, that attempting to finish a PhD program was a great idea, that doing it in a completely different environment would be worth it, and that – oh yeah – taking a class that had 29-page syllabus would be the right thing to do!
Granted, Undergrad B. had good intentions, but Grad B.? It's her who feels the pressure. She had to face with the fact that everyone in Grad School has gotten used to being a star scholar. Sadly, now she is very well aware that -whatever Prof. S. thinks- Arbeit macht frei nicht! And, for some reason, she just can't seem to muster up the energy to care about her epistemology paper the same way she cares about the latest episode of Gossip Girl!!

I've finished my fifth full week of classes now and I see no signs of things calming down! But I'm going to stop worrying. Stop stressing. I think if I put my obsessive compulsive organizing skills to good use, I will figure out a way to fit it all in. And to keep my sanity.
..Hopefully.
