One paper down, one to go. The math-econ paper I turned in last night took over 4 hours of work per page on average. Macro-econ is not so hard, just I hadn't worked on it between last weekend and late last night because of the math paper. So just a couple more hours on macro, and the game should be finished.
One thing I have truly been surprised at this semester is how graduate (PhD) work/study is not just harder than undgrad work/study, but fundamentally different. I have been pleasently surprised that just being in this atmosphere (or something) caused me to approach both of my papers in a different way - somehow more serious, as if either of these could lead to future pieces of sholarship.
My younger brother is in the midst of his first college finals week right now. Boy do I remember. Compared to how "on the ball" I felt my sophomore year, freshman year (esp. finals time) seemed like I was a walking zombie or something like that. Glad that's over, but remembering my experiences in undergrad made me wonder if the same sort of thing will happen here. Will be interesting to see.
Gonna got write...
