Back to school

Tomorrow is the orientation for my Master’s program in Information Management and Systems at Berkeley, and classes start on Thursday. I’m really glad I took time off in-between work and school, but I’m still a little scared of diving back into academics. Well, excited and scared*. Based solely on digital interactions, both my classmates and the department staff seem quite friendly, so I’m looking forward to meeting new people and making friends here. I currently have two classes I’m definitely taking: Information Organization and Retrieval (a required course), and Quantitative Research Methods (which sounds useful and interesting). I may be able to test out of the required computing course, but if not, I’m sure it will be good review. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll get a better sense of what a reasonable course load is. I’m always wary of overburdening myself, but especially this semester, because I will performing in The Christmas Revels and the shows coincide with finals (!).

Any tips for grad school and/or Berkeley as a school and town?

*Though scary is exciting, nice is different than good.
