So my trip to Boston was great. It was so cold!!!!!! I got to visit MIT, make friends with different people from there and even got invited to join MEGA when I become a student there *crossed fingers*. So far I am thinking of applying to the Media Lab since it resembles the academia version of IDEO and their mechanical engineering department. I am still unsure whether to pursue a PhD or a masters... part of me want to pursue a PhD but then again I want to have a family someday.... I guess I'll just wing it....
I liked the other universities... UMass was a let down but I'll apply for the other ones. I can't wait till I return to Boston once more.
My job is going great, I am learning so much and my co-workers are great to hang around. They still pick on me b/c I am usually serious or quiet...I can't help it, when I have a task I like to finish it and be done w/it. The best part about this job is that it helps pay the bills while expanding my knowledge on hands-on-last-minute-fixing and solidworks.
My mom just got engaged to the jerk-face of her boyfriend. She will be moving out like in 2 weeks and I'll be moving into the efficiency in the backyard of my house. My brother is going to be renting out the house. I'll be honest here, it hurts. All of that effort, all of those memories of my family and growing up feel shattered. I'll miss my mom but I guess this will let me concentrate more. I hate having drama w/my family... anyone else I can block away, its just a lot more harder to do w/family.
I hope this new year brings more accomplishments for myself and everyone else. I hope I can make it. I hope that it will be better...I hope.
