being a hater

i hate grad school. okay so maybe i am not actually in grad school. but austin is. & i am a hater.

we seem to be closer to the end here & he's been busting his hump.
trying to move into our first house, juggle a full time job, have a social/family life, enjoy our dozens of visitors, be one of the only ones in the class that is not present & not immediately following the pre-reqs can be very very challenging & discouraging. :( & stressful. plus finals suck.

boo. hopefully the next class isn't such a beast.

He seems to be pretty organized and disciplined about getting in the study and working when he could be doing miriad other things.
Congrats on being close to done.

Boo is right. that sounds absolutely overwhelming. in a bad way. :( Soo glad you're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I don't know how he does it online when everyone else is there- that would be difficult. good luck austin!!! get done so you can come see us hopefully. :)

I remember grad school. It was no fun. I was a single mom, juggling mom-hood, career and school. Social life? Nuh-uh. Non-existent. And then one day, poof, it was done! And so it will be for you also. The work was worth it in the end. Hang in there, this too shall pass.

Meaning of 'busting your hump' ---
It means working your tail off ... OK that did not help ... It refers to a Camel ... a Camel stores there water in the hump the more the camel has to work... By traveling with cargo on it's back or with a person ... The Camel has to drink more of it water from it receive ...That being from it's hump... Making it's hump get smaller and smaller ...
