Yes, It has been a while

I kind of forgot that I had a blog. . . .

And then I get on here and see I have comments. I was super excited to read all of those, as it means that someone took time to read up on my boring life as of a year ago, so I thought I would post again. Drum roll please. . . .

Let's see, I just finished my second year of my PhD program and I am happy to say I am through with all the Economics from the Econ PhD department. The courses were killer, and I am happy to say that through divine intervention, I was able to survive! And I even surpassed some of the Econ PhD students on exams, so that gave me a boost.

The program is amazing, though it does have it's constant ups and downs. Depending on the day my mom will either hear that things are amazing and I am really excited about everything that is going on, or that it is terrible and I am going to drop out. But in talking to other PhD students, I am finding out that this is normal. That makes me feel slightly better.

I take my comprehensive exams the end of June so till then I should be feverishly studying. I will emphasize the should, as you can see by me taking time to post a blog, I'm struggling to stay on task. .
