How I did it: First, I applied to graduate school. I read all of the application information, sent my transcripts, wrote my statement of purpose, and acquired letters of recommendation from teachers who had supported me through undergraduate school.
Second, after I was accepted into the school, I made certain to stick to the program. While my advisor was nice, she was also extremely busy. If you want to finish on time, make sure to keep up with the requirements on your own.
Third, I prioritized. While I still made time for friends and family, graduate school had to remain at the top. If you realize you don't have time to complete all of your coursework, drop a class or cut out an extra activity. It's better to take a little longer and do better than to finish on time and do a mediocre job.
Lessons & tips: Apply for assistantships. If you can get work as a GA or TA, the school will help you pay for classes, and you will accrue valuable experience.
Also, do not give up on your thesis. Push through, no matter what it takes.
Resources: You can't beat a reliable thesis director who is going to push you to work as hard as you can.
Also, surround yourself with people who believe in you, and who have similar goals.
Finally, Dr. Wicked's Write or Die was priceless for finishing my thesis.

After taking quite some time off, I am returning to school in the fall and will graduate in December. Better late than never, right? Very excited.
I started graduate school to earn my MA in September of last year. I’m almost finished with my 3rd quarter and this time next year will be on my final quarter. I’m getting pretty burned out right now, but am looking forward to having the summer off for some much needed me-time and relaxation time. I just need to keep my head down and get through it and keep reminding myself that after this quarter, I’ll be halfway done.

Eeek. With midterm, projects, readings piling up, I feel like I am buried under a huge mountain. People who went through grad school often said that at some point you would just want to run away. I didn’t realize that it could be so soon for me.

It’s funny. I’m actually enjoying this. I am enjoying sitting down with the books and reading through them, devouring all the relevant information and discovering interesting relations. I wish I had started this earlier.
I’m currently working on my M.Ed in curriculum, instruction, and assessment with a concentration in instructional technology. As a matter of fact, that’s why I came to 43 Things…it was a class assignment. I have five classes (including the one I’m currently in) to go. Learn a few things and slide over on the pay scale while I’m at it…and then my wife can go for her C.A.S.

I have one more class and a portfolio to create. When I first stated the program I was very motivated. I lack the excitement I had at the beginning … a little burned out. But at least I can see the rainbow out yonder :0)

I can’t believe it, but it’s really only 9 days left until I absolutely finish with my master’s program. Phew! I can’t wait, it’ll be so great and to top it off with a trip to S. America. That seems to be my tradition. When I was in undegrad, my mom, sister, and boyfriend went to Costa Rica for my graduation.

I’m less than a week from finishing my first quarter of graduate school. Earning the degree seems entirely possible. Doing well along the way is an entirely different story…
