Entering the Second Year

Classes technically began yesterday, though I haven't actually attended any yet-- because the classes I am registered for all take place on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with section meetings taking place on Thursdays. I am feeling a little weird about begin a second year in this program, because it means that I will graduate in a year (well, I guess technically less than a year, I will graduate in May). So, the job search has officially begun. There are already companies who are interested in meeting with students in my program, which seems a little ridiculous.
As of right now, I am taking Labor Economics, Stats, Intergovernmental Systems, International Institutions, and Labor & Global Cities. I am hoping that it will be a good semester-- I know some of my professors already, and have heard really good things about others, which gives me hope. It will be busy with five classes, but I think it should be manageable (at least that's the goal). And, theoretically I can begin more work on my thesis this semester as well, so it is ready for submission by May.
Things are going pretty well here, it's definitely nice to be back in town. But, I am mostly glad that I have time to relax before everything starts again.
