on the road....
This past weekend's trip to North Carolina was a success. I secured an apartment for June; the lease papers came in the mail today. In the meantime, before moving, aside from packing and getting my belongings up there, and working extra at work, I am going to need to start studying for the qualifying exam. Around the end of August, before fall semester starts, every incoming master's student has to take the qualifying exam.
This exam shows the department in what areas the student is lacking, so they can then take the necessary classes to make up those deficiencies. Come to find out, only 60% of students entering the Master's, with a Bachelor's Degree in Geology pass the exam. So, I am going to study my ass off and probably fail. But, I just hoping not to fail too badly, so that I do not have to take an overwhelming amount of undergraduate course work or more than 2 semesters worth [6 classes]. I wouldn't mind if you kept your fingers crossed for me. In August, I can use all the positive thoughts I can get.
