The Grad School Dilemma

What to do when reading your assignments for class makes you feel worse instead of better? When you have so much reading that no matter how long you read it won't get done, it's not unusual to just give up and not try. That was my philosophy for a week or two, but then I decided to take a crack at my ever expanding pile of books and articles. After I finished a few, I felt accomplished, motivated. Until I checked how much of a dent I had really made: not even an indention. Sigh. I feel more behind than when I started! And this is exactly why I avoided starting in the first place. Oh, the dilemmas of grad school.
