Schedule
Feb. 3, 2004
My Ph.D. qualifying exam is now officially scheduled for February 16. If the past exams I've been working are any indication, it will be insanely hard. I get two chances, but if I pass it the first time I won't have to worry about it any more. I should probably be more stressed about it, but my personality doesn't go that way much.
<br>
<br>My weekly schedule is surprisingly busy. I only have one class MWF, but I teach 2 discussion sections on Monday for 373. Combine that with preparation for said classes, and that's Monday completely gone. Tuesdays are busy as well, with 3 hours of class and a 1 hour group meeting. Wednesdays are refreshingly light, but I've been trying to devote Wednesdays to qual study, with mixed success. Thursdays are much like Tuesdays, without the research meeting. Friday I have office hours in addition to my regular class, and usually meet with Dr. Ramos to discuss homework solutions.

<br>Hopefully, once I'm (successfully?) done with the qual, this semester will get a lot less stressful.
