The Sweet Release From Testing

I just woke up from 14 hours of straight sleep, thanks to about 25 hours of straight testing. Yes you read right. It turns out, my five-hour stats final took about 21 hours (with a short nap break and soda run at 4AM), and my two-hour research methods test was the full four hours I've come to know and love (right). This is what I expected grad school to be like, but it still isn't fun.

It's been a long two days, but I'm finished with my first year of graduate school and it feels so good to be done. Especially since I am NOT taking any summer classes. This will be my first summer off since I was about 14-years-old. Granted, I have a summer job lined up for mid-June, but still time off. I haven't even been able to imagine such a thing for 17 years. Let's hope I kept my A's. I'll keep you posted.

Today, if I summon the energy, I plan to clean and organize our attic. I think this is the only cool weather we're getting until fall. Sweeping up hundreds of dead wasps IS more appealing that writing 34 pages of correlation, t-test, and ANOVA calculations by hand. Emily should be so proud of me.
