Life as a Grad Student can be hard sometimes, but for some people it may be worth it to go to graduate school to get a more advanced education.

I find an interesting article about confession of Life as a Graduate student:

It seems a very demanding to be a graduate student. Let me know what you think?

It would be less demanding if there were mastery of the language and writing skills...especially at the graduate level, eh?

Jefery, is Bunga your former girlfriend? Are you spamming the world with her dreadful writing as some kind of ghastly act of revenge?

No not really =) No revenge is intended. I just thought she writes an interesting article. I feel bad to her though that she has to work very hard.

I am a graduate student too, but in business MBA, so I don't need to work that hard in the lab as there is no lab =)

Cheers,

Jeff

Of course, now that's sound reasoning to justify the world's writing...please excuse me.

I'm in...or should that be:
Of course, now that's sound reasoning to excuse the world's worst writing...please excuse me.

Or does it make any difference to correct it since we are supposed to fill in the correct words for those who cannot speak or write the language, lest we be accused of discrimination? I am my brother's keeper, eh?

Jefery, if you don't have to work as hard as Bunga, maybe you could help her by fixing all the errors in her article. It makes my eyes bleed to see so many mistakes.

No one is going to want to use her consultation services when they see the mess on her website. Bunga is not doing herself a favour by posting such careless writing for all the world to see.

Can you spot the errors in the first two sentences?

"Life as an undergraduate is more structure/organize than life as a grad student. As a grad student, hours spent in the classroom is much less, but research work is greatly increased."

How would you write those sentences correctly?

Hmmm...First, Jefery may want to consider how he will write his own sentences correctly before he takes on the big guns with Bunga:
