Date: 2011-09-23 01:54 am (UTC)I'm hoping to focus mostly on YA novels and fantasy fiction, because that's what I like to write. If I get permission, I want to (re)read ALL the Neil Gaiman!

Date: 2011-09-22 10:30 pm (UTC)I just went through this with my daughter and an undergrad seminar she has on science in the media. She needed a huge stack of recent pop science books. At least they were just about all available as paperbacks.

Date: 2011-09-23 12:06 am (UTC)Btw, I'll happily take pleasure in your pain. I already have two graduate degrees, so I know what it's all about. If I could get through that crap, you'll be just fine... once it's all done. Can't vouch for that "fine" statement while you're actually going through those classes. *laughs manically*

Date: 2011-09-23 01:49 am (UTC)Everybody told me that there was a lot of reading in grad school, so I was kind of prepared for it. But there's a difference between mentally psyching yourself up, and being faced with the cold hard reality.
My only comfort is that there are a lot of people out there who have actually finished their grad programs. So evidently some people make it out alive!

Date: 2011-09-23 02:03 am (UTC)In all honestly, I think the start of a program is the worst--seeing everything that has to be done and not knowing how in the world you'll have that time. But you know, once you're in the middle of it, you simply get it done. Because you have to, but it still gets done. It's kind of surreal, actually, especially when projects are involved and you look at the finished product and think, "When the Hell did I do all of this?"
Long story short, you'll be fine, I swear.

Date: 2011-09-23 05:42 am (UTC)I'm thinking a tshirt with a Dalek that says "PROCRASTINATE!"
Or possibly a shirt with a huuuuuuge pile of books with a hand sticking out twitching.
