First week of grad school - Ok, this is fun and totally doable
Second week - So... you mean to tell me all 7 assignments and readings are due on the same day... and that day is tomorrow?

Third week: “Ok, I think I’m getting the hang of.... oh the professor just emailed out 3 new readings for tomorrow? “
Week 4: I finished up one of my summer classes with an A 
Week 5: I had my first midterm exam (Intro to Operations). It was tough, but I think I did well. *fingers crossed*
Update: I got an A
Week 6: Reflection time! Here are my thoughts on leadership based on some of the discussions and readings -> https://taylorfacen.com/blog/leadership-from-the-to-a
Week 7: This past week taught me about time management and prioritization. I thought I had this down before, but this program is showing me how to really develop the right systems to get things done. Now, the goal for next week is to finish my assignments AND get 7.5 hrs of sleep
Week 8: One of the main benefits of grad school is that most of the learning comes from my classmates. Class of 22 has some heavy hitters, and I’m so fortunate to be one of them!
Week 9: I went to my first in-person (and socially-distant) class this week! I honestly prefer that over zoom classes because of how easily I get distracted online. Also, I'm officially done with Intro to Operations. Let's pray for this final exam grade.
Week 10: That's a wrap! The summer semester is officially over. I learned so much and can't wait to pick things back up when the fall starts. In the meantime, my core team made binge scheduler for our optimization class. Check it out! https://streamandchill.app
Week 14: Why we don't have syllabus days anymore. Day 1 literally went like:
Professor: "Welcome to class everyone. My name is Professor X, the final is worth 40% of your grade, and now we'll have a deep discussion on the history of AI and how to code a recurrent neural network.

Week 15: This was the first week of in-person classes. It was so much easier for me to pay attention and engage in person than on Zoom.
Weeks 16 - 20: Just finished midterms. Although in the moment it felt like the world was ending, this past week wasn't too bad. I think for the rest of the semester I'm going to try to take more notes during class in real-time instead of relying on class recordings afterwards.
Week 21: school is hard
Week 22: ok, officially focusing less on grades and more on actually learning the material because *see above tweet*. Jokes aside, I’m more so enjoying my hands on classes where I get real world experience solving problems.
Weeks 23-24: Lately, I’ve been feeling down because I’ve been getting horrible grades in my AI class. Well, this week, I got a perfect score on my AI quiz 
Week 25: There are only a few more weeks left in the semester. It's time to go into crunch mode so I can try to salvage my grades as much as possible. 
Week 26: One of the first case studies my class read this semester was on Zappos culture and how providing “Happiness in a Box” was revolutionary.

Week 27: The very class that caused most of my stress (see below tweet) is the class that I got an A in for the semester. I’ve official conquered AI at MIT! https://twitter.com/itstayfay/status/1320156436199067649
Week 28: My team placed 1st in our Analytics Lab competition!! https://twitter.com/mit_ide/status/1337535774082932736
