32 Days Remaining

Today I met with my advisor for the last time. Her last words after our meeting, "See you at graduation!" As spring break approaches, I'm still undecided on whether I will return to "work for the man" or to continue onto a master program. Damm the man!!! Since I've returned to school, I've grown accustomed to watching daytime TV, taking afternoon naps, waking up late without the worry of calling the boss and most of all, barely having any real responsibilities other than submitting an acedemic paper ever so often. Tell me I can find a job that embraces such a culture; or laziness. After Googling for an employment match, the words unemployment popped up frequently. Maybe graduate school isn't such a bad idea!

With the consideration of grad school, I would ultimately remain in Boulder. Unless of course, I obtain acceptance at USD ... I pretty sure I would leave in a heartbeat. My goal would be obtain a masters in civil engineering at CU (ranked 44 of 100 top engineering universities), while working as a TA for some undergraduate class (HA, picture me as a teacher). Just for kicks, I'm considering to apply to the top 3 engineering schools; however, MIT, Stanford and Berkeley are clearly out of reach ... how bout d'em apples? Obviously I'm not afraid of rejection ... or maybe I'm just good at wasting time! #2 is the correct answer!

I think at this point, I've swayed into staying in Boulder for at least another year. Plus, the idea of moving again ... eekkk! Before, I set it all in stone, I'm off to Vegas with Brown, Ewain and Jeremy for a weekend of relaxation and POKER!!! Hopefully, I'll return with a clearer picture and more importantly, a winner!
