I'm starting my first semester of graduate school for Economics this semester... My undergrad degrees are in Economics and Mathematics...
I'm taking:
Statistics 531 (Applied Statistics)
International Monetary Policy
International Market Policy
...Also, I'm the GA for undergrad Economics and Stats courses...

That's a weird first semester for economics PhD, shouldn't you be taking macro, micro, and metrics (or a similar courseload)?
(EDIT: Admittedly I don't know anything about what those courses actually are, so if they are general courses in macro, micro, and metrics, then my question is irrelevant)
I'm coming into the program during an off semester. Normally students are admitted for the fall semester, but I got lucky and got in for the Spring. I would be taking Advanced Micro Theory and an Advanced Econometrics course this semester if I started in the fall. The normal first semester courses, for students starting in the fall, are a Mathematical Modeling, Theoretical Statistics, and an elective.
I see that you're taking an Abstract Algebra course... That was the hardest math course EVER, but that probably had a lot to do with the way it was taught. That's pretty much the case with all math courses. Diff Eq was pretty easy though. It was just a matter of discerning what types of operations fit the circumstances (ie: whether a problem is separable, homogeneous... etc.)
