I am so very grateful to have been offered a graduate assistant position this year. It is not in my academic department, but rather with the department of housing. I'm qualified because I worked for housing for three years as an undergraduate. (Yes, I was an RA.)
Because this is a position with Housing, an apartment on campus is part of the package. But this means I don't get to have visits from my dog (but my ex is kind enough to let me come visit her when I please).
I am anxious about classes starting. I have 4 grad-level classes, and one infamously demanding undergrad course, and I'll be working 20 hours a week in addition to that. I also need to take a basic-level math class at the local community college. It's going to be a challenging semester. Bring it on!
