If “mango” ever used to watch Saturday Night Live, he’s a male. It makes no difference to me – let’s deal with the question. Your educatiion is very crucial right now, so use your time efficiently. It won’t be forever, so you can live with inconvenience or a heavy schedule, knwoing it is self-limited. Do you have to drive, or do you travel by train or bus to school? If the latter, then use that travel time to do some of your studying. If not, try to do your work at the library as much as possible, so that you are not distracted by the other people in your family or apartment. Take BREAKS, and close your eyes, walk around, stretch your legs. Sitting in one place for two long is very unhealthy and stressful. When you feel stressed, always remind yourself of the bigger picture. Try to always be neat and organized in your work and even WHERE you work. Messy is stressy. My kids are on grad programs now, too, and I know how tiring and overwhelming it can be. You will be fine. It is not forever. Keep telling yourself that. Hatzlacha rabba.
