The Choices are Many. The Answers are Few.

Well, it's coming up to the end. Almost done with my thesis. Although, not in time to graduate this semester. Which still has me depressed beyond belief. But, I take the good with the bad. I may be stuck in Orlando for another semester, but at least it gives me more time to fine tune my data and look into more schools for my doctorate. Right now, I'm looking at the following schools. In no particular order, mind you.

University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
Penn State University-University Park
Ohio State University
North Carolina State University
University of Colorado-Boulder

Apparently, these schools have some of the better combustion research in the nation. That's all well and good, but the question that's going through my mind right now is how well will I fit in at these places? The only other school I've been to is Ohio State, and that was four years ago when I was deciding where to go for my Masters. I'm sure things have changed in the four years since I've been there. So, if any of you on my FL live near these areas or are from these institutions, how about laying out the dirt for me. Pretty please?

Still fasting. Gotta admit, even though I'm in a perpetual stupor nowadays, my body's getting used to the not having of food when the sun's up. I'm just glad the sun's setting before six because there's no way I'd be able to hold out any longer. Good thing, though. The fasting should be over before Thanksgiving. Muy bueno, si?

But, with the fasting comes some drawbacks. Like the fact that it's impossible for me to work out anymore since I can't replenish any liquids and sustenance until the evening. And working out in the evening's a bust since I'm so tired after getting home from the lab. God, my metabolism's gonna be shot after this month. Oh well. At least I'm not eating that much since my stomach's the size of a raisin when the sun goes down. But, with lack of nourishment, my health has been taking a hit as well. I haven't felt this bad in a while. But, I'm hoping it'll get back on track once I'm done fasting. Well, that's the hope anyway.

So, in conclusion. If you live in the areas of the aforementioned schools, hook me up with some info. It's always nice to get a third party's point of view instead of the song and dance these schools put out.
