Not much as I was working full time while going to school full time.

I went to Grad School at the same Univ that I went to as an undergrad, so it really was just a continuation of the 1st 5 years

Will let you know in a year

sonicvi · #5 07-07-2008, 07:08 PM

None. Which is why I quit after one semester.

We left the Deans daughter passed out in a shopping cart on his doorstep.

Didn't have much fun at all. Worked my *ss off!

I had a lot of fun in grad school! I was old enough to drink legally, I was single, and old enough to know what I was doing. All in all, a very darn good time!!

Can you elaborate? I'm considering graduate school over the next year or two, and any insight on the troubles of grad school would be greatly appreciated.

None I did not go to grad school. My under grad took long enough.

Oh man...

I went to grad school 12 years after I got my undergrad degree, so I was already an "adult" (sic) with a dozen years professional experience while getting my Masters. It put things -- both academia and extra-curricular activities -- into a very interesting perspective.

What kind of fun? Um... well, there was an awful lot of craft-brewed India Pale Ale involved, and an unbelievably torrid wet sloppy XXX-rated nasty freaky affair with an older woman who also happened to be my best friend's wife (!) ...a friend who approved of this affair (!!!) ...and several tours of the midwest & northeast with a crazy avant-jazz comprovisation ensemble, and numerous opportunities to work with a number of name acts and famous folks both as a bassist and an audio engineer, and one high-speed car wreck

...and somehow amidst all the drama I still wound up graduating with honors.

Yeah, grad school was fun.

I went to grad school remotely, so technically no fun at all was had there by me. Not the ultimate grad school experience, but company-paid for. So hey.

I am sure there are still some wild times to be heard !

peterbright · #16 07-08-2008, 04:30 PM

Boring

fdeck · #17 07-08-2008, 05:16 PM

Learned electronics, played gigs, got married. It was altogether a good time of my life.

millahh · #18 07-08-2008, 05:26 PM

I drank. Alot.

For five years, every waking moment was either in lab, working out, or drunk.

dave64o · #19 07-08-2008, 07:32 PM

I had none at all. They were five tough years. In addition to working full time, I had also gotten engaged, planned a wedding, got married, and bought a house. I was glad when it was over.

Grad school fun? Are you sure you don't mean undergrad school fun?
The only grad school fun was after I graduated was was able to go back to gigging without lugging my laptop and doing homework backstage and in hotels at the end of the night.
Of course I did go to library school with a 5 to 1 female to male ratio, so that was fun.
Now to find a job, but that's another thread.
