Hi everyone! This week has been hectic (like the past bazillion weeks as well). We just finished hosting the EdD weekend and are now focused on Master's applications and preview events. The applicants who came to the EdD weekend were fewer compared to the PhD weekend but other than that most of the format of the weekend was the same. Since we had done the exact same event two weeks prior, we felt less stressed planning the event and preparing for it.
Friday night at Davio's was great like always and the Saturday morning prep went smoothly. It was nice seeing the different current students who are pursuing various interests of their own. During Saturday morning we have a poster session and it was a great way for us to see what the current students are working on this year. The afternoon events and dinner also went smoothly and we had a lot of good feedback about the preparation we made for the students. I did not attend the Sunday morning events and decided to sleep in a little bit and get started on other papers I have for class.
Overall I had a great time. It was also one of the few times that all of the Admissions Graduate Assistants were able to meet together for dinner (dressed up as well). We took several pictures of our group (to be posted very soon!).
The flip side of these wonderful doctoral weekends is catching up on school work and your personal life. I am now in turbo mode trying to get everything done and prep for the Higher Education Comprehensive exam this week. Hopefully after this crazy whirlwind of a week is over, I will have time to catch my breath and rest. ALSO an interesting note, our spring break is in less than 3 weeks! I totally forgot about our early spring break this year. I guess private universities have the luxury to tailor the spring break to fit its specifics academic schedule. So I have that to look forward to soon!
