GRAD SCHOOL WIML VLOG: crawling to the finish line of the semester, reading tips, + diss writing

Hi--thanks for being here! In this final week of the summer semester vlog, I am tapping into the reserves to channel allllll of my last energy to meet a writing deadline and finish teaching/grading. I share some reading strategies and note-taking strategies, I chat about my research and writing process, and, of course, I try to find a work/life balance by scheduling time with friends/time for rest/time for self care. Hello summer 2023! :')

The way you broke down your notetaking strategies was really inspiring and helpful… If you could devote a whole video to this, that would be great! Always super excited to see long videos from you! You are such a welcome distraction, and your content is super relaxing! ❤ And Starbucks just cannot be replicated 😂

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Yay! I love to hear this--thank you! I have one of these sit down chat videos in the works ;)

[@theartandstuffs]

I've been so nervous to vlog about grad school since it's summer as well as im "only" a ma student getting a head start on thesis stuff and not a phd student yet, but ive watched a few of your vlogs and im feeling more confident now! ~ 🖤

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Yes! No such thing as “only” an MA student. I’m sure so many people could find what you have to say useful! ❤

[@mansoor3159]

Hey! Sarah my sister truly truly enjoyed watching your vlogs so so much and she was eagerly waiting for this vlog you are my inspiration and I wish you have a beautiful day💗💫😀

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Every time your email notification goes off I think it's me getting an email haha. I hope your month off is going well! I just found your channel yesterday and have been consuming your older content so I look forward for new videos!

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Hahah whenever I edit and the notification dings, I also think current me is getting an email 😂

I took your advice from a previous video and started reading a book for fun. I have my reading list for next semester and I really have to fight the temptation to start reading ahead. I think inserting some fun reading is a really good way to break up the stress. Edit: I am thinking about a bike as well! The building I will be a GA in is on the other side of campus from my classes. The prices on the new ones are so high! I'll have to check out yard sales

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Reading for fun has literally changed my relationship with reading! (for the better!) And I got so lucky with this bike, but I feel like I also see some cheaper ones on Facebook marketplace a lot!

[@FonteyneMargot]

Really happy I found your channel! Finally a PhD student in a field similar to mine. As in, I've actually heard of the conferences you're submitting to. :')

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Yay! So fun to find my rhet/comp community members!

[@FonteyneMargot]

@@SarahFischerVlogs Actually I'm mostly doing research into the L2 writing process and online translation tools. But I've heard about CCCC, for example!

[@Easypeasypumpkin]

Watching this as I finish the last few hours before my undergrad deadline!

[@Easypeasypumpkin]

Side note I had a feeling you’d go for the panini 😂

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

@@Easypeasypumpkin hahah i'm a sucker for anything tomato mozz

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

congrats on finishing the semester!

ok 1) what is that pasta recipe?! and 2) my therapist has suggested workflowy for note-taking, thinking, writing etc. It's organized through hashtags and I've been trying it out...I like that I can have it on both my phone and laptop should I have a random thought while I'm not at my computer that I want to jot down!

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Omg I must look into this! And here is the recipe! www.kitchenstories.com/en/recipes/gigi-hadids-spicy-vodka-pasta-without-the-vodka-7b6b?epik=dj0yJnU9VlpxaVVVYjJFWS11ME9PcHhvODhZTjhVNE9WcFhhTkUmcD0wJm49UGh5NkNTSVhVaEJMa2dYbzQ1Qjl2ZyZ0PUFBQUFBR1NzUmkw
