Grad school ramblings part 2...
Just an update on deciding the future of my life. I reread the VT assistantship and realized that they would actually pay all my tuition and I get a stipend of about $1600 a month, so that's no longer an issue. I had a good visit up there a few weekends ago. I really like Dr. Splan and they have a lot of horses. I met a bunch of the grad students and they all seemed nice. I head out to Davis this weekend. I think I'm going to just wait and see how I feel about the professor there, because if I think I really can't work with her that would be a deciding factor. Other than that, I think I mostly have to decide if I want to go more molecular or more quantitative. Moving that far away isn't as big an issue to me (seeing as I spent a semester in Australia and didn't want to come home). I will miss my friends at State, but I almost think it will be better to go away where I can in a sense start completely over and not be able to travel back and forth on weekends. Though I will miss football. But anyway, I'm hoping when I get to Davis it will either feel completely right or totally wrong. I'm just afraid I will make the wrong decision and since this is probably the most important decision of my life thus far, that's kinda scary.
On a lighter, fluffier note, Andrew Lloyd Webber is the mentor for American Idol next week (my guilty tv pleasure). This could be very interesting. And if David Archuleta sings "Music of the Night" I may have to hunt him down. He is not that good.
