It's that time of the school year: I've hit a rock.
Can you get a form of senioritis in grad school? second-year-itis?
All I want to do at this point is apply for jobs, go to conferences, network, learn on my own time and with my own deadlines, and work full time in a library. while getting paid.
Is that too much to ask?
In total agreement with Meg.
Yes! Totally agree. I mean, I’m slightly in a different camp because I want to stay in academia, but now that I’ve made it through the first year I’m really trying to focus less on work for class and more on professional development, like writing interesting papers that can be conferenced/published rather than the “safe” papers that can get me an A but not do much else.
