Am I the only one finding it extremely difficult to concentrate on grad school while planning a wedding? Its like the only thing on my mind at all times is this wedding.

Re: those of you in grad school....
I hear ya. I am also selling and buying a house!!!! What was I thinking
I just find that when I put a timeline together it helps me a lot. I know what has to be done when. The more organized I am the less stressed I feel. So far so good. But I also had a total of a year and a half to plan the wedding.

I was in grad school when I planned my wedding but honestly when I think back to the year I spent planning my wedding all I remember is PLANNING my wedding.
I don't know how I graduated with honors.

I'm working and going to grad school. Wedding planning is totally throwing me off track. This gorgeous weather doesn't help either! I need to get going on my papers for the semester...

Re: those of you in grad school....
yep, I'm with you.
Honestly though, I'm so bored with being in school and so lacking in motivation as it is, that I don't know if I'd be able to concentrate on schoolwork without the wedding. I went straight from high school to college to grad school, and I think maybe that was just too much school without a break...

YES, but for me last year--it was my distraction and stress relief! SOOoo I am still on here this year for the same reasons (will be in school awhile, working on a PhD).

Re: those of you in grad school....
yeah i got engaged when i had one month left to go of grad school. wow was i distracted! i couldnt wait to be done with all my papers so that i could spend time looking at wedding stuff.
i was really happy to get engaged and i was really happy to finish my MA, but at the end of it all soo many people didnt notice that i even finished my MA, the engagement overshadowed it.

I'm in the same situations. Next year, I graduate in May and getting married in July. That's why I'm glad I'm talking 1 summer class and then 2 classes each during Fall and Spring next year. A full time job, 3 classes and wedding planning is just too much for one girl to take in one semester.

I have been so busy with wedding plans and work that I have not been putting that much energy into school. It's bad. I need to stop with the plans and finish up all my work for this semester so I can graduate and be done.

Re: those of you in grad school....
Oh my God yes - this is a very important degree I'm getting - my job is reimbursing me for all school tuitions! I just need to get a B or above - this semester I'm worried - so far I've received all A's.
I also work full time, work on saturdays, some sundays, and 2 nights a week!!!
this year has been extremely tough all the way around...

This is EXACTLY how I feel, working full-time, going to grad school, planning a wedding & looking into places to live. This semester has not been soooo bad with the amount of work I have to do, BUT my professor is a BI*** from hell!! Which makes it just as bad!! I need a break from school.

I just took a *** attitude about school this last semester. I said to myself a 'B' is fine...no need to stress myself to get an 'A'.

Re: those of you in grad school....
yep - but i figure this is probably the last time i am going to school - so i don't need to stress to get A's - as long as I keep a 3.0 im happy

Re: those of you in grad school....
I'm the same way. For undergrad I was obsessed with getting As. Now as long as I get the B I'm happy. I already have my job but teachers are required to get a Masters. How annoying!
