    • grad school: two down

      Posted at 8:00 am by jasminedesirees, on May 8, 2017

      Oh hey, remember me? It’s just been a casual few months since I posted anything! I just finished my second semester of grad school, so I finally have time to write for fun, and to feed myself anything besides canned peas and Lara bars.

      This semester was even busier than the last one, since I was also writing for the ASU State Press, and working as a TA for one of the undergraduate classes, in addition to taking some pretty intense classes, and a foreign reporting trip to Mexico, but I made it through. You can check out some of the stuff I’ve been working on here, if you’re interested.

      I have one semester left, which I’ll be finishing in the fall, and over the summer I was accepted to do a fellowship, so I’ll be spending most of my summer in Phoenix (it was 104 degrees yesterday, and it’s only May. Help.) but also traveling to a few places around the country reporting on stories.

      I have a few weeks off before it starts, so I’m jamming in as many things as I can, including a Vegas trip, a few days in the Great White North, and a road trip to New Mexico to visit White Sands, which has been on my list of things to do since we moved here two years ago.

      I’m excited to do some reading for pleasure (!) and post as much as I can here, since I still have some trips from last fall that I haven’t hit publish on yet.

      I kind of can’t believe it, but I just finished my first semester of grad school.

      That’s actually not true, I still have one more paper to write, but all of my big projects were due on Friday so everything after that feels kind of anti-climactic.

      Here are my two big final projects if you want to check them out, one on the differing experiences of refugees and undocumented immigrants in Arizona and one on the history of racial disparity in Arizona.

      I have a few weeks off over the holidays and I’ll be going back to the Bay for most of it. I’m thinking SF for New Year’s Eve, I want to make a trip up to Bend to see my girl, and I’m hoping to sneak off to Big Sur for a few days. I’ve been dying to go camping there ever since we moved to California 5 years ago, but it just never happened.

      It might be totally freezing in December, even with the sub-zero sleeping bags we bought on the way back from Montana this summer. Our only chance will be to huddle together for warmth. I, for one, choose death (Without A Paddle? Anyone? No?).

      I’ll be working over the break too and I already have reading assignments for next semester so I know the time it’s going to fly by.

      It’s been way too long since I posted anything on here, I actually have some great stuff in my drafts folder but I have so much writing-for-grad-school writing to do that writing-for-fun writing is kind of taking a back seat.

      Grad school is going pretty well so far, I’m about a month in and I go back and forth between “This is so great, I’m so glad I did this” and “What the hell was I thinking” in an almost 50/50 ratio, so right on schedule, probably.
