It's week 5 and I already feel spent. My University remains open, which I have mixed feelings about. On one hand, this will allow me to have funding for the Spring. On the other hand, students are given expectations, and a reality that is very difficult to manage
I'm in 4 classes as a graduate student and that is already a lot on top of maintaining my assistantship duties.
Professors are trying to allow us to learn at the same pace and quality as "normal". Discussion posts have become busy work and readings are unbearable.

At this point I feel like a robot spitting out logical sentences for assignments that take almost double the amount of brain-power as normal.
And barely comprehending the readings and completing assignments that normally do not meet my standard

I know I should feel lucky, to be paid during my program, but I haven't felt connected to my cohort or my University since March and I can only imagine what others are feeling like.
Please don't use this thread as a way of feeling bad for me.
Instead, use this thread to know you are not alone right now, and college isn't the only thing that is important in life right now!
