Too hard? Not hard enough?

Too hard? Not hard enough? I've been to all of my Hermeneutics classes and to 2/3 of my Counseling classes. I'm also working on choosing my classes for next semester. In that process I've also been evaluating my experience thus far. I think my deduction about grad school is that is is not as difficult as I had imagined it to be, and yet a lot more work that I imagined it would be.
I thought I'd be overwhelmed and feel intellectually lacking in my classes. This has not been the case. I am learning a great deal and having my mind stretched, but not in a way that makes me feel ignorant or incapable of handling the material. I find that my favorite parts of the class are when we are having group discussions. I enjoy the sharing of ideas among a diverse, yet common hearted, group of adults.
The work load on the other hand has been the shock! I was able to get by in my undergrad with minimal study efforts. And, even though I saw Deanna study her tail off during grad school, I still imagined that I would be able to do grad school with minimal work. This is not the case! I find myself reading so much of the time! (I think that may be why I've been having so many headaches!) Despite these surprises, I am still thoroughly enjoying my school experience and am looking forward to more of the same In the months/years to come!
