Yesterday in class we went over the process of getting into grad school.

Now I've hit a few more rough patches over these last few semesters, but if I work hard I think i can still get a handle on things and get in.

I'm worried though, about my planning/organization skills. Be it ADD or just lack of practice on my part, I don't know that I can handle Grad School at this point. I have around 2 years before I apply and hopefully enter into grad school with the aim of getting my doctorate in Psychology.

The thought of having to organize a class and teach, of having to plan research and write a dissertation... its terrifying to me. Right now I can barely observations done on time for a 5 page paper, there's no way i can write a major thesis.

I need to get myself under control before then. Where do I even start?

All I can say is my Masters proved to be my undoing.

I am getting my self ready for a very prominent engineering school right now. Currenty I am in a two year school that I know is much easier. Granted im not getting ready for graduate school yet I will be.

Just start small. This is my hardest semester yet and I am using it to help me organize my self for things to come. The best thing that is helping me is routines. Set a schedule and stick to it. I also got a PDA to help me keep track of assignments and appts. If you do enough little things itl add up.

Hang in there.
