I AM SO TIRED.

Note to self: never compare grad school experiences with anyone else until you finish the Master's. Because there is NOTHING more demoralizing than talking to someone who started hers a year after you did, is still working full-time, is taking a 42-credit Master's while yours is 36 and blithely talks about taking 4 class (read: 12 credit) semesters and how she'll be done in December. Nothing.

How the hell do you take a 12-credit semester and work full time without basically dumping half your work on other people? How? I want her secret.

Doesn't sleep? That would be my guess. I've got a co-worker going for his Master's, at any given time he's trying to work his full-time job here and a part-time elsewhere, and 9 times out of 10 when he comes here to work, he's dragging and looks like he could fall asleep at the drop of a hat. And I think he's only taking one or two courses at a time. I could be wrong on that, but I really don't think he's doing more than that.

My vote goes for doesn't sleep.

Last I checked she was a pretty heavy partier.

I'm going to mark it down as miscommunication (she probably meant for the year), plus the differences between an MBA and an MS. Also, for all I know she could be getting away with doing classwork at work. I don't have that luxury.
