Case law paper for Corrections in the Community: 5 pages (1) --DUE by end of semester I don't need extra credit in this class, so I'm not doing it.
I got another paper back last night, and I did really well on it. It was a nice boost for my confidence. I've been really struggling this semester. I think part of it is being a senior and being burned out, but also the first grade I got back was from a test I did not prepare for and the score was correspondingly dismal. As such, I've been dragging through this semester in a weird sort of haze, not getting anything done and not caring that it wasn't done. I've wanted to go to graduate school for almost my entire undergraduate career, and even that goal was waning. I didn't think I was smart enough to even get accepted, much less get the needed assistant-ship.
I haven't applied yet, as I'll worry about that after I graduate, but I can feel a little more energy about school right now. I'm sorry that's worded awkwardly, but I don't know what to call it. I'm still contemplating asking the grad director if I have a chance by email so I don't have to face in-person rejection, but at least I'm back on track. It's good to know that when I study, I can actually do well. Obviously, happy feelings will not get me accepted into the program, much less provide funding, but it's a start.
On another note: I estimated that my first reading summary would be 10-15 pages. I just finished it at 19 pages. The 80 page total estimate may have been low.
