hey Sirius, don't get me wrong. I also got my undergrad degree here.I amnot a pathetic new alien here. I also understand the pain ,immense hardwork, dedication and patience associated with 4.5 yrs of bachelor's degree. I amnot oblivious to your situation nor I dont emphathisize with you. I have been there and I used to think it is so tough as an undergrad. But as I am doing my graduate degree now, I feel that bachelor's degree was a piece of cake( just my personal thought). There was less pressue involved. Moreover, being in the science stream takes a lot of your time and a lot of your patience. There is so much pressure in grad school, the pressure to maintain your GPA, the pressure to have publications and all that. so my above statement was made right after I came out of my evening class. The profs just pile up everything on you and they dont care if you can handle all that pressure or not. They just want it done. My statement was made in all good intent. When I look back I feel that I didnt do much hardwork in my undergrad( could be one reason why I find grad school so tough...hehhe). anyways....cheerup!
