Prospective student weekend

Posted on March 5, 2008 by meg

Ahh the new admitted grad students arrive today and tomorrow – so weird! It doesn’t feel like a whole year since I was doing that…not at all.  Too bad they put it right at the end of the term like this.  I’m feeling pretty stressed out most of the time, and I don’t really feel like I have time to go out tonight or tomorrow night and show them how much fun we are and how much free time we have 😉 Sigh.

About meg

I think planets are cool! I'm a new graduate student in Planetary Science at Caltech, and at the moment I'm interested in planetary geophysics of terrestrial planets and moons. I'm originally from Cortlandt Manor, NY, and I did my undergrad at MIT, where I got heavily involved in student theater - a hobby I hope to continue through grad school, time permitting... I also like to read sci-fi/fantasy novels, obsess about English history, and play frisbee.

    Heh. Just wait until your adviser expects you to be able to teach the new students stuff. I think that was the weirdest “But I just got here . . .” part of starting my second year.
