Damn dude, with that much coke, you’ll be fine for at least the first couple days. Fuckin unstoppable!!!
But seriously, you got in. The program has confidence in you.
Don’t over think it, it’s just classes and flexing your math noodle consistently. Pro tip for masters work, make a schedule and treat it as a job. Undergrad you can easily get away with “eh I can cram before the test”. Not in masters and above. With the schedule though it’s extremely important you schedule days off, burning out is hell and extremely hard to overcome. I suggest weekends so it really is a job like schedule. Utilize your schools school psychologist/psychiatrist, it’s free (usually) and helpful (usually). Good luck and remember to have life as a priority too!
I’ll definitely try to have off days! I’m a full-time high school math teacher right now, so I don’t have a lot of free time to begin with. But all the more reason to have a schedule then!
I quit 3 years into a math phd last year. The math was never the hard part. Make friends and follow your interests and you’ll be fine. You’ll be surprised at how doable it is once you get started.
How I got thru the last 30 years as an Engineer. Add a bottle of Makers
Every paper I write should have Makers Mark as a co-author…
Nothing great was ever accomplished without risk. I am certain that if you made it through the rest of your college career you will do great in this part to!
This is me too. I’m in my late 30’s, working a full time job in a bank while completing a full time degree, trying to maintain my top-of-my-class-grade while also trying to keep the rest of my life from falling apart, and genuinely thinking - I’m going to do my masters at the top university in my country because fuck it, why not.
