I'm cleaning out tons of binders with course materials from my 5 years in a PhD program and can literally see how much I've grown as a scholar. I'm leaving a totally new kind of scholar and, especially with our passion for technology, I know you're going to shine in your new dept! You’re going to be great!

The next year, I moved into an apt with another student and it was a lot better. May things go well for you. when I went to grad school, I had a house that I got an acceptable offer 2 days before I left and I had to fly back down two months later to close… my first year, I lived in the dorms for the first time in my life–at 29–it was horrible.
