Its been my first week of classes and I am trying to answer what exactly is graduate study? Prof. Indira Nair, vice provost for education at CMU succinctly answered this question during orientation. According to her
“It is the single minded pursuit of excellence and also seating in sacred place means that you sit alone“
Its quite true, grad study unlike undergrads is very different. You have to compete, make a point and learn quickly as much you can (as there would no second chance). No one is going to spoon feed, its up to you how much you make out of it.
There are million of oppertunities out there, I just have to make it happen.
