Chapter 5 > Year One
My first year of grad school I lived in a graduate and international student dorm on campus. I had some very cool roommates who became like family. I didn't have a car so I spent a lot of time on campus or wherever I could get to on the MARTA. The school part of my life was just OK, I struggled a little in adjusting to life as a graduate research assistant. I traveled to New York often to visit my girlfriend, which livened things up when school got me down.
