(no subject)

     so... i've been thinking about it and i wouldnt mind expanding my knowledge of chemistry biology and math in a more in depth sort of way at a graduate school, but i could go either way on the subject.  and i think that people that could go either way on the subject that actually end up going to grad school end up hating it, and i dont want that to happen seeing as how it is 4 or 5 more years of my life. it could also end up turning a person off to what they are studying if its enough torture which i really really dont want to happen because i absolutley love the research i'm doing and the things i'm studying/have studied. so i'm leaning towards not going to graduate school as of now. which i kinda need to decide soon... but whatever. 
      some may think there are other things influencing my decision to not attend a graduate school, like friends, girls, tests (to get into grad school), application fees, or even family to name a few, but as much as i love the time i spend with my friends and as much as i hate not being around my family on at least a semi-regular basis and as much as i love girls, i would put these things off for 4 years easily if i really wanted a Ph. D. or masters degree because i know my friends and family would be there when i got done.

i hope i dont regret deciding not to go to grad school, which my mind isnt TOTALLY made up, but my philosophy right now in life leads me to the job market instead of graduate school come the beginning of may next year... and if i really want i can always go back to grad school 3 or 4 years down the road, which isnt that uncommon in the chemical field... some companies will even pay for it if the graduate school doesnt already do that.

we'll see what happens... i could always teach at a middle or high school if it comes to that
